Audrey Shulman: Screenwriter, 'Sitting in Bars With Cake'

"That's not how your movie is supposed to end," Audrey Shulman remembers a director telling her. It was surprising to hear, since the movie was based on her own life. But in the end, it was the right choice. The movie in question, Sitting in Bars With Cake (which includes a cameo by Bette Midler) helped launch Audrey's screenwriting career. After a few years in Los Angeles — including the chapter that became the basis for Sitting in Bars — Audrey has returned to Nashville. She's still writing, though, and while she can't say much about them at the moment, she has several projects in the works. She's also also still baking cakes.
