Actor and Filmmaker Art Chudabala Announces Debut Memoir Back To One
A Powerful Story of Divorce, Fatherhood, and Rebuilding a Life

Actor and filmmaker Art Chudabala has released his debut memoir, Back To One — a brutally honest account of divorce, identity loss, and the slow, unglamorous work of rebuilding. The book draws its title from a phrase used on film sets to reset actors to their starting position.

The memoir addresses the difficult realities of heartbreak and divorce while tracing a path through isolation, self-examination, and eventual reconnection with purpose.

"This book is for the man sitting on his floor, wondering how he got there. It's about the moment you stop performing and start looking at the truth."

The narrative progresses from devastation to rebuilding — without shortcuts, without false resolution. It's being recognized as one of the more candid accounts of modern male grief and recovery.

The Audiobook Is Happening
Back to One is coming to audio

It's one thing to write about falling apart and putting yourself back together. It's another to sit in front of a microphone and read it out loud.

We're in the studio now. Recording Back to One as an audiobook—in my voice, the way it was meant to be heard.

Grateful for the people in the room making this happen. More details soon.

“The words on the page. The voice in the room. Both true.”
