About this Book
In this book you’ll
find everything you always wanted to know about the, real,
honest-to-not-so-goodness day-to-day inner workings of Hollywood. Not the glamorous Oscar-winning-Spielberg-Red-Carpet
Hollywood. The daily grind of Working Hollywood.
For the very first
time, a Hollywood film agent has opened up her phone sheet and crackberry to show us how agents, writers, and
directors function in a world of producers, development executives, and
studio executives. They only want to make a living, and sometimes even get
a movie made.
Sometimes even a good movie.
This isn’t another book
dishing the dirt about the rich and famous. It’s a fresh tell-all
translation from Hollywood-speak to plain English, a peek behind the
Wizard’s curtain into a culture that’s rarely captured without cliché and
hyperbole.
You’ll learn how to get
an agent, how to keep one, what they do, what they don’t do. You’ll learn
how agents navigate through the murky politics, and even why agents are
such infamous liars.
The last time a Hollywood agent talked about his job in a national
magazine, he lost his biggest client, and almost lost his job. There are
secrets and lies that everyone in the Biz knows, but nobody wants to talk
about; lies that everyone tells so nobody has to admit the truth.
That’s all over starting right now.
This is The Low-Down Dirty Truth About Hollywood Agenting.
