The Cutting Room Floor
Page 21
The film I’m working on has taken on a life of its own, without me directing it. A piece about … love.
Sort of a tribute to Riley.
I shuttle through interviews of people talking about love. Gay love. Straight love. Romantic love. Platonic love. You get the idea.
And as you listen to the people talk, it’s clear.
Love is simple and complicated and easy and hard. People do great and terrible things all in the name of it. Love, to use a cliché, makes the world go round.
But mostly, love is honest. It has to be.
And that, my friends, is a wrap.
Cue the music … roll the credits.
