After her mother’s condition improved, [Alice] Wu started writing again, but continually encountered writer’s block. To get over this hurdle, Wu wrote a $1,000 check out to the National Rifle Association, an organization she despises, and gave it to her friend. She told her, “if this first draft is not written, you are sending that check in.”[3] This draft evolved into The Half of It, a coming-of-age comedy-drama film written, directed, and produced by Wu.[3]
