A movie that affected me deeply was ‘Ordinary People’ by Robert Redford. This movie is a favorite of my mom’s. We watched it together when I was 15. I remember looking at her beautiful, sensitive face and seeing how it affected her.
Looking back, my mom has influenced my love of storytelling more than anyone from the very beginning. She also has taught me more about character development, subtleties, good humor, and intriguing plots than any class, director, or actor I have ever met.
