From the ‘Vantage Point” of Friendship:
So I’m taking myself this afternoon to see Vantage Point (trailer) Why? Because it is the debut screenplay of one Barry L. Levy, a close friend of mine from high school. Barry and I have known each other since 1990 and actually wrote a screenplay together all those years ago called "Parental Consent" about a high school boy whose mother keeps murdering his prom dates.
He obviously made much more of our early partnership than I did.
Seeing it this weekend is my little contribution to its opening weekend, the crucial statistic in measuring movie success. I’m busier than sin this weekend and its raining but one of my promises to myself and the people in my life this year is that I support their endeavors, just as I’d want them to support mine.
So congratulations Barry. Your old friend Kevin is hella proud of you.
