2131 Words9 Pages

Last summer, I had the opportunity to interview a screenwriter named Julie Sherman Wolfe, and for me, that will always be a special interview because she was the first writer in the entertainment industry with whom I had ever chatted. Julie is one of those special people with whom I have a lot in common, and I appreciate every opportunity I get to connect with her as a writer, a person, a mother, and a friend.

RH: When I first saw the ads for The Birthday Wish, I'll be honest, I thought, "Oh no, another time travel one." That was my first thought.

Oh, that's so sweet.

And then we noticed there were some good actors in it. Marcus Rosner is in it.

Oh yes, and Jessy Schram is fantastic! Oh my gosh, …show more content…

They're hoping to start shooting in March, but I can't say what it is yet. I wrote it around the same time, but it's not their priority because it's for Christmas. They're trying to get it done now so they can shoot it when there's still snow on the ground in Canada. I really wish I could tell you what it is, but I can't. And I'm also writing another Christmas one right now. Let's put it this way. There's a lot happening none of which I can talk about. I have a few irons in the fire over there. I'm very grateful to be working this much for them.

Slater 's theory that we spend our lives paying attention only to information that is consonant with our beliefs, and we ignore contradictory information that might cause us to question what we have built is extremely important because it exposes how people become close-minded about other beliefs. Slater herself writes, "My sinks soaks it up and the cut closes over, so there is no mark there anymore, or is it just too dark to really see (Slater 132). " In other words, Slater believes that it could be true that the oil healed up her wound, or, she could deny it and make up an excuse. The argument here is that if others do not admit other possible facts or truths, they will be left in the dark. In other words, they will not be exposed to new ideas
