  2. “Well, I mean, I think the movie absolutely captured Andrea, as well as Meg, Thalley, who is Andrea's wife and also another poet.

  4. “They got back to me in three days and they were just like, we're going to buy tickets to Colorado. We're going out there immediately. Like they got it. They got it. Right.

  5. “That day immediately started reaching out to any and every documentarian, financier, anybody that I knew in that space.

  6. “Yeah, real performance. This was like the rock star of poetry is what I always tell people. But I connected with Andrea, I think very much on a comedic level. Andrea was one of my favorite people to laugh with.

It was so obvious. And so I work quickly.”

And then Andrea went on stage and just annihilated the room. Like it was such a roller coaster of just beautiful poetry and humor and performance.”
