Thurston co-wrote The Getaway Driver to give equal weight to the stories of Power and Clare Schroeder.

“Clare was 17 when her father was killed. We wanted to show that one single tragedy affects people in profoundly different ways. That was very hurtful to the family that often Walter was a side-note to ‘Katherine’s story’.”
