>>>a variation on the movie Nurse Betty

The movie "Nurse Betty" is about delusions and how people follow them with tragic-comedy consequences. ?The inciting incident in that movie is designed to set up the plot to play out her foolish obsession with a soap star that tips over to a full-blown delusion.

What is your movie about thematically? ?What's your point in sending him to Taos, instead of say ?Gallup or Roswell or Clovis? ?

For better or worse, what -- better yet, who --- exactly does your character hope to find in Taos that he?won't find anywhere else? ?Exactly how does he want to do a makeover of his life? ?Does he want to become an artist? ?A musician? ?A Zen Buddhist? ?Why Taos?
