Already a celebrated novelist (What's Eating Gilbert Grape)
and screenwriter (About a Boy), Peter Hedges knew he
needed to step behind the camera for Pieces of April, a
story only he could tell. Here he discusses the challenges of
being a first-time director, adjusting a formerly $7 million
film to fit within the $150,000 InDigEnt budget and the need
to be passionate about any project in order to make it successful.
