How did Beth feel about the movie being made? Was she excited about the process?
Initially, she agreed to the idea of a movie, but was fairly indifferent as things started to progress. Part of the reason is that she was already very happy in her life, so the movie wasn’t too high on her priority list. Another part of the reason is, until the movie was a real thing that she could watch, it was too abstract of an idea to have much meaning to her. The same had occurred with the book. She was not too interested in my writing a memoir about us until the book was a physical reality that she could hold in her hands.
