So You Think Your Life’s A Movie
was a life-changing experience for me.

A difficult memoir of my tangled involvement as a young photojournalist in 1980’s Latin America came to life … I can’t say enough about the importance of the moment for me when I saw my words… acted out in class. A dark shadow over my life was lifted by the transformative powers of artfulness. The best therapy, better than sex or even a massage, soul-freeing!
