About John Sayles

John Sayles is known as a writer and director. In the early 1980's he co-wrote a script with Susan Rice from three Grace Paley short stories which was titled Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (from Ms Paley's story collection title). The three New York stories were directed by young women directors who came from documentary backgrounds at a time before "indie" had the studio cred it later basked in. The directors were Mirra Bank, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer. There is no page for it on MUBI currently, but it deserves one as a showcase of American independent cinema before Sundance and the Hollywood connection. And yes, as a credit for John Sayles.
