THE INNER RUDDER
Football, basketball, debate, you name it-the big rival to my high school in the Central Valley of California was in the next town down Highway 99. Over the years I've gotten friendly with a student from that other school.During high school he wasn't much interested in studies-in fact, he almost flunked out. Growing up on a ranch on the out skirts of town he spent a lot of time alone, reading science fiction and tinkering with hot rods, his passion. The week before he was to graduate, a car sped past from behind as he was making a left turn into his driveway, smashing his small sports car to bits. He almost died.
After recuperating, my friend went to the local community col lege, where he discovered a calling that riveted his attention and mobilized his creative talents: filmmaking. After transferring to a film school he made a movie for his student project that caught the eye of a Hollywood director, who hired him as an assistant. The director asked my friend to work on a pet project, a small-budget film.
That, in turn, led to my friend getting a studio to back him as director and pr6ducer of another small film based on his own script-a movie that the studio almost killed before its release, yet which did surprisingly better than anyone expected.
