The Lovely Ms. Adrienne Shelly

As a fan of Ms. Shelly from way way back, I - along with millions of others - was horrified and deeply saddened by her death in November of 2006. Aside from being a great loss to her family and friends, it was an abrupt end to what would have been a fantastic career. Waitress is one of my favorite movies and it is bittersweet that she did not get to experience the success of her film.

I have been following her husband's movements following her death - the creation of The Adrienne Shelly Foundation and the production of a completed script (one of many) that she left behind. And so it is with great excitement that I anticipate the response to Serious Moonlight at this week's Tribeca Film Festival. From all reports it should be wonderful! With any luck they'll find a distributor who will bring the film to Williamsburg.
