In 2005 LA Times writer Steve Lopez met Nathaniel Ayers, a homeless musician living on skid row. The Soloist, adapted from Lopez's book by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich, In Her Shoes) is the story of that encounter, their lives and their friendship. In this episode of Angle On, Lopez, Grant and director Joe Wright speak about the challenge of bringing true-life stories to the screen and the difference between finding the truth and sticking to the facts.

Okay, I thought there were millions of aspiring screenwriters out there trying to make it. Why aren't there more people watching and commenting on these videos? And don't tell me they're too busy writing.
