It’s been a long journey from script to screen for To The Stars.
I wrote it when I was at UCLA in 2000 and it started principal photography in March of 2018, went to Sundance in 2019 and is being released by Samuel Goldwyn Films today, April 24th 2020.
In between that beginning and ending I had lots of bad dates, helpful for future writing content, married a sweetheart, had two kids who keep me on my toes, started this blog, gained fifteen pounds (sigh) and wrote and wrote and wrote (in my pajamas, with chocolate and vodka nearby.)
So seeing all that hard work make it to the screen is beyond what I ever hoped for. A little more info.
