Adam Elliot Quote
"I base my characters on the people around me and have befriended so many people who get labeled "different." I feel their stories need to be told; people need to learn about these people, have their lives shared and understood. "Max" is based on my real penfriend whom I have been writing to for over 20 years and I let his world inspire me. He shares many of the traits of Max, but there are plenty of embellishments and exaggerations. As the saying goes: "never let the truth get in the way of a good story."Yahoo! Movies: Sundance '09...
