“Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day.”

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you're living your life. I wouldn't compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it's about a man who doesn't appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day. 'Heres Matt at home learning his lines. Here's Matt researching in aisle six of his local library'. A few hours of that and they'd go home.
The nice thing about being a writer is that you can make magic happen without learning tricks.
