New York. 1997. Plume. 1st Plume Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0452276667. 359 pages. paperback. keywords: Film Directing. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Follow seven enthusiastic, ambitious would-be moviemakers through three years of straggle, misadventure, and triumph in the film business--from pitch meetings to the Sundance Film Festival to the actual making of a feature film by one of the young directors. The seven featured players--men and women, white and African-American, gay and straight--are all collegiate award-winners or fellowship honorees. All hail from one of the Big Five film schools--AFI, Columbia, NYU, UCLA, and USC--and they all want to direct. Some of the graduates are fortunate enough to deal with industry heavyweights like Denzel Washington, Martin Scorsese, and Harrison Ford; others watch savings accounts dwindle and eye the want ads. Entertainment journalist and film school graduate Billy Frolick weaves in words of wisdom from such established directors as Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer), Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption), Gillian Armstrong (Little Women), and Rob Minkoff (The Lion King). His other original interviews include screenwriters Gary Ross (Big) and Neal Jimenez (River's Edge), and top personnel from Columbia Pictures, Castle Rock Entertainment, and the William Morris Agency. By the end of this Hollywood version of Hoop Dreams, a couple of day jobs have been procured, a house has been mortgaged, and one participant has left town altogether. ‘Riveting. Frolick has produced the definitive text on what it's like to make a start in the film business'. --Steven Soderbergh, director of Sex, Lies and Videotape. inventory #41030.
