Not surprisingly, Zoe Kazan wrote her great scene herself. She wrote and produced this little Fox Searchlight gem with her BF Paul Dano, who starred in it with her. How ROMANTIC! How PROACTIVE!

- LIVES HAPPEN
- CAREERS HAPPEN
- HAPPINESS HAPPEN.
If this is a trend,
I LIKE it.
I want to LEARN from it.
I want to TRY IT!
