The Party began with a script. It is a work of imagination, like a short story.

The writer Andre Dubus once remarked that short stories are the way we communicate the events of our lives. They're how we tell each other things: what just happened at the grocery store checkout or the amazing turn of events at the bar last night.

Making The Party was an attempt to create such an event. I wanted to find out what would happen if a lonely middle-aged man decided he could speak honestly with an adolescent woman at a company party. Even more, I wanted to evoke the "vivid, continuous dream" of fiction.

But a filmmaker trying to describe his intent is a bit like a filmmaker offering an excuse. Still, one can hope, and hope is the antidote to loneliness. And that's a story worth telling. - Eric Maierson
