Today, Beth brings us the highly accomplished Producer/Director John Callas, going deep and personal on his experience with the show's topic: depression. How to recognize it and how to overcome it. We have a first-hand encounter with his amazing experiences in Hollywood, the motivation for his writing, the struggles that came with it, and his dark moments, within the apparent success. In the case of When the Rain Stops, the writing came in waves. “Different events in my life would trigger something and I’d want to write it down and start building it,” he says. “There were times that my wife would come by my office and I’d be crying like crazy, having to relive it.”When he completed the initial draft, he shared it with his wife and a writer friend, both of who “started screaming at me,” he recalls. Their objections were not to the content, but to his choice of writing his life story as a character—not himself. “That marked a real change in direction,” Callas says.
