Over the weekend, I went to see the movie Manchester By the Sea with Casey Affleck. It was spontaneous and worth every minute. I cried and laughed and loved the way I connected to the film. The writer and director, Kenneth Lonergan, did a remarkable job introducing the rawness of grief, especially how different the experience can be for everyone. It hit home for me on a personal level, but we’ll talk about my stuff another time. The movie also got me thinking about the importance of film and television in today’s society, and how they both have the power to transport, enlighten—and heal.
