Overview

What happens when curiosity becomes a compass-and creativity becomes a way through uncertainty? A Storyboard Life begins on a freezing winter night when a young woman, broke and uncertain, chooses generosity over fear. The $20 she donates to a good cause soon blossoms unexpectedly into a 30-year adventure across more than 200 documentary films. From rejection, divorce, and loss to unexpected triumphs and second chances, these behind-the-scenes stories reveal how the films she works with become both lifeline and compass. Frame by frame, each one offers a lesson, a plot twist, or a push to keep going. Part memoir, part backstage pass, A Storyboard Life invites readers to discover how a most unlikely career was built on determination, creativity--and the power of story.
