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.
