ABOUT MUSINGS

ABOUT THE FILM

All great artists have muses, but the collaborations don't always go smoothly. The muse wants to tell a great story, the author wants to make some money and pay the bills. This difference in goals can be brutal on the relationship when both players are determined to win. Musings is the story of a children's writer at the end of his career looking for one more story he can sell to a publisher and his muse who's trying to push him towards greatness.

MEET THE CAST AND CREW

Rebecca Bartlett

Rebecca Bartlett is obsessed with dragons. The dopey, long-tailed fantasy creatures find their way into much of her work from her Young Adult trilogy, "Adventures of a Teenage Muse" to "Musings" where an aging author explores his love/hate relationship with the beast who's great for the creative process, but hard on the ego. Rebecca lives in eastern Pennsylvania with her family which includes a dog and two cats but, sadly, no dragons. You can find Rebecca on the world wide web at http://www.rebeccabartlettauthor.com/site.html.

Storyteller Charles Kiernan, now retired from gainful employment, performs at theatres, listening clubs, schools, libraries, and festivals.
