In the 90s, there were so many films made about us and every experience we had.
I wanted to explore, you know, where we are in our mid-50s, you know, as you hit that age, does anybody still give a?
And if there is an audience out there, you know, does anybody on the other side give a?
They can help me reach that audience.

Eddie, I just was telling you I watched the movie the other night and I'm in the age range, I'm married, I'm an artist, and I was replaying lines in my head that night, having a hard time going to sleep.
You have characters saying out loud a lot of the things that ricochet in our brains because this is not just Millers in marriage.
These are three artists who are in marriage.
