ABSTRACT

Norbert entered treatment soon after he had received his MFA in film from a prestigious graduate school in the East. He had almost not graduated because he hadn’t been able to complete his final project, a full-length film, which he was to write and direct. However, his professor liked him—he had been an industrious student in all other ways— and allowed him to turn in his partially completed film along with a synopsis of the rest of it for complete credit. He was now making his living working on the crews of whatever movie was being filmed in New York.
