Editorial Reviews
Product Description
They say that the one rule in Hollywood is there are no rules. There are, however, a series of "conventions" that exist, that if properly adhered to, will significantly smooth that otherwise rocky road to a career in film and television. While there's no substitute for talent and just plain old perseverance, there's also no excuse for handling yourself naively in a pitch meeting or acting like an ass when meeting a Really Big Star. The truth is, Hollywood is held together by a very delicate yet complex fabric, and the surest way to get in the inside is to know what's expected of you, and to behave accordingly. Compiled from the personal experiences of dozens of accredited writers, directors, producers, agents, and studio executives, the Rules would probably take you ten years to master on your own. Here, with this insider's guide, you'll be able to avoid the traps and pitfalls that have stymied so many other creative people and realize your full potential as a writer, director or producer.
About the Author
Highly respected within the Hollywood establishment - the authors of The Hollywood Rules have attained worlwide noteriety with their combined feature film credits. So why anonymous? Why pass up on the book tours, talk shows and advantages of fame? The filmmakers who wrote the Rules utilize them on a daily basis in order to make their living. By giving you these codes, the authors are virtually sharing with you the secrets to beating the system - a system that typically takes at least a decade to master. To expose their identities to those on which they practice these dictums would be like going into a gunfight without cover.
