I can’t stop thinking about the Aurora movie theater shootings. Not just the extreme sadness caused by such senseless violence, but by the fact some of the movie goers thought the tear gas and shootings were part of the special effects. Scary stuff when we get so used to violence in movies we don’t know when the real thing is happening. I’m glad for our wonderful audience which has chosen to take a break from all that and allowed themselves The River Why. Our director, Matt Leutwyler, wanted the movie to (grow and) flow like a river. It’s a gift.
