I found to my surprise that the man who was closest to him when he died had been a good friend to me in the last 10 years of his life. Yet after Delmore died, Milton never talked about him.
I was curious about making this movie because the genres are put together, ... I'm attracted to stuff I think is going to be difficult to pull off, and the stuff that I'm a little afraid of.

If this movie threatens or challenges you, then there's something else you should look at. People are so scared to touch on these issues. The good thing about this movie is that it forces you to do that.
When you tell people, your world changes, your identity changes and people treat you differently. And then, not only do you have to deal with your own emotional response to what's going on, but you take on everybody else's emotional response.

You can watch someone on-stage cry and cry - but in the audience you feel nothing. It's easy to become indulgent. For me, what's important is the story first.
