"All documentaries must invoke, as best they can, the spirit rather than the letter of the truth - and they are exciting because of this. A documentary's authenticity ultimately lies in its organizing vision rather than any mechanical fidelity to life." - Michael Rabiger

Finding Lear P.3



This sequence is really what the film is all about.

No one saw this but me -- not our Rollins' Executive Producer and not Stu -- but our actors were all experiencing Lear-like issues with their aged parents as we were making the film.

It was as if we were shooting "The China Syndrome" during the Three Mile Island incident.
