...just withered away after she died. He wouldn't let anyone into the house to clean except me. He ran off anyone who tried to help, then complained about loneliness. He picked up women on the bus, talked about getting remarried (always to someone in her 30s or 40s, I noticed), confided details of his marital life that I really didn't want to know.

This year 3,000 applications arrived for the Sundance June Filmmakers/Screenwriters Lab. All but eight ended up on the cutting-room floor...
