A college friend named Droad decided to make a film that we’d enter in a Festival, called Sundance, to win some prize money. I’d write the story en route and he would shoot the footage. Droad owned a Paillard-Bolex H16 Deluxe Cinema Camera that he inherited from his grandfather, who once worked on the set of a famous movie. Our film, entitled: Narrow Roads, had its final scene in Zion National Park. I wrote the script, Droad shot the footage and Bonn was the leading man. It was about relationships that were hard to navigate, like the many two-lane roads we’d trekked across Cleveland, to Nebraska, through Wyoming, into Utah. Our film didn’t make it into the festival – which had to be submitted months in advance – an official at the event said Droad was a natural born filmmaker and I had real writing talent – that counted towards widening the roads, a bit.
