Book Summary: Other Lives, Bends in the ROAD, and What- Ifs: An Alternate-Universe Novel by Rick Schmidt One of the grandest questions a person can ask in life is, 8220How different would things have been if I8217d just made different decisions?8220 Well, filmmaker/author Rick Schmidt has bravely tackled his own 8220WHAT-IF8217S8221 in this amazing new memoir-novel, 8220Other Lives, Bends in the ROAD, and What-Ifs.8221 Included are stories from age 11 on, through his college and adulthood. Reaching back, he8217s bravely dug into a past in which there seemed to have been build-in dangers on all sides, threatening the man he8217d later become. For instance, when he won a gigantic panda worth hundreds in today8217s currency at an amusement park in Chicago and attempted to sell it at a profit, his future as a businesman/entrepeneur could have been assured by the smallest nudge from his parents (it wasn8217t). His scholarly father and Smith College mother were actually aghast at the idea. In his college days (1968), he regrettably declined to take up a life-changing offer to join an Oregon commune he visited while hitchhiking. He could have remained there, they offered, built his own free log cabin82118211no more Oakland, California rent/bills82118211eaten for free while helping at their expansive vegetable garden, working only 8220when his spirit moved him to do so.8221 The meal he dined on upon arrival had been photographed for Life magazine8217s next issue, that exact meal pictured at this book8217s end. Schmidt explains in his first 8220Alternate Universe8221 story how that hasty decision would probably have cost him contact with his young children. A fantasy phone call with his furious ex-wife is pretty convincing. And it certainly would have interrupted his ongoing art career. Another dangerous earlier offer, to become a grill chef at a Hyannis Port, Cape Cod restaurant-of-note (Robert Kennedy and his brood ate there), would have altered Schmidt8217s fate of meeting wife 1 (and having children with her). Had he not declined that professional offer at the tail end of his dishwashing summer job, his life would have been drastically changed, including: (1) Not becoming married, thus making him inadvertantly vulnerable to the Vietnam draft (he gives a hair-raising 8220Alternate Universe8221 account of what war for him could have been like. (2) Not attending art college (his 1st wife introduced that option), that path of study would have evaporated. Without attending a video class at the California College of the Arts, he probably would not have gone on to write/direct/shoot/produce independent feature films, along with the urge to write his classic, Viking Penguin how-to, 8220FEATURE FILMMAKING AT USED-CAR PRICES.8221 That book has changed the life of many others, kicking off the Hollywood careers of Kevin Smith (CLERKS), Eduardo Sanchez (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT), and superstar Vin Diesel, whose mother bought him a copy. Not to mention, Schmidt learned enough to complete the final cut on his college roommate, Wayne Wang's feature, CHAN IS MISSING.You8217ll read other instances where Schmidt8217s 8220Alternate Universe8221 decisions might have landed him in much hotter water. Example: A young, gorgeous underage woman he met at a Florida rock concert would have been hard to resist for any red-blooded male his age (20), but somehow he did. Statutory 8220rape8221 in that state gets you 12-15 years behind bars. Or perhaps on a chain gang.It8217s obvious that many young people have been tempted by similar choices as Schmidt has, and with some luck they8217ve blundered through the worst of it, just like him. If nothing else, this 8220looking back8221 novel can deliver a chill82118211or thrill()82118211to the reader. Schmidt signs off with the hope that one8217s real-life is as fruitful and dynamic as it8217s supposed to be. Some wise women have stated (he adds) 8220There are no mistakes. Life is life, and everything is placed in front of us for the good of our soul8217s growth and enlightenment.8221 Let8217s hope so.
