 Tony and I are best friends of over 40 years. So I knew his family intimately as he went through a real odyssey with his autistic son, Dimitri, when Dimitri was approaching puberty and Tony's marriage was going through trials and tribulations. And coming through that gauntlet, he wanted to write a movie about it. So I had read the script many times over the years just as a friend. But he called me a couple of years ago and said, I've rewritten it. Would you take a look? And it hit me really hard. And I felt like I'm the only person that can tell the story. I have to direct this movie for you.
