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.
