Production
In 1983 Howson announced he had written a stage musical called Beyond My Reach which he hoped would be directed by Rodney Fisher. "It is about people who try to succeed so much that they end up with success and very little else," he said. "Although it uses the show business model, it's the sort of message that can be applied to anyone who's trying to succeed."Howson had made three films directed by Pino Amenta but the two men had a falling out when Howson wanted to direct Hunting himself. Howson claimed he wanted Amento to direct Beyond My Reach "but his girlfriend, a make-up artist of little note caused some problems and that was it. And t-t-t-that’s showbiz, folks. Egos, egos, egos."
