Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Mildly AmusingBy David GallmanThe book is mostly just a collection of quotations from professionals in the entertainment business. The quotes and copy are hacked together in an amateurish fashion reminiscent of a bad high school term paper.If youre interested in the subject and have read a couple of books on "breaking in" to the business in Hollywood. Directing Your Directing Career will offer very little new insight. If youre interested in the subject and HAVENT read any books on it. Hollywood 101 is the best of the genre. Skip this one.You can glean some good tips from the quotations. though. and sometimes they are mildly entertaining. Two stars for the work involved in all of the interviews.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One StarBy MortisAged book. Update needed.6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Id rather drink bleachBy Kent ThomasI had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately. if you are an independent filmmaker you will want to steer clear of this brutal attack on your psyche. On the other hand. if youre young. have parents that can support you through the much coveted internships this book recommends. and the Hollywood system is your dream home. then you might want to give this a once over.But be warned. By page 100 youll want to throw your wrist on the kitchen table and open a vein. The author takes great care in taking excerpts from interviews with directors and applying the most negative and unispirational examples possible. Her basic message is "Youre a loser and youll always be a loser unless you take a vow of poverty and say just the right thing to just the right person at just the right time". What a load of hooey!If I had known the author isnt even a director I may have reconsidered my purchase. Im not a whiner by nature nor do I need to be handled with kid gloves. The book does contain some helpful information. but the delivery of this info is so sadistic that I finally put it down at page 134. Maybe actresses should stick to writing books on acting.
