Is this what they teach in film schools?
 
A New Jersey native, Tom Musca, who attended an unnamed film school in
Los Angeles, is the producer of recently released film MONEY FOR NOTHING,
based on an event some years back.  A bag of money fell out of the back
of an armored truck; the hero, Joey Coyle, picked up the bag.  Now, Joey
was not a heroic guy, what he was was a meth addict.  Weeks before the film
was released, Coyle used an electric extension cord to hang himself in his
basement.
 
In an article in yesterday's Philadelphia Inquirer magazine, Musca is
quoted: "'It's important not to let the facts get in the way of the truth.'"
