HOW NOT TO FOLLOW YOUR FILMMAKING DREAM
I had the pleasure of speaking at the world-famous Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. There is spoke about my experiences from my book Shooting for the Mob and the lessons learned.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK
WHO IS BORIS THE CINEMATOPGRAHER?
I asked Boris, an industry-recognized cinematographer if he would be willing to do an interview on his experience working with Jimmy the gangster, the craziness that happened all those years ago and what it was like being in the center of that filmmaking tornado with me.
Boris jumped at the chance but he asked that we change his voice to protect his identity. He doesn't want to put himself out there at this time.
Boris lets loose on all things Shooting for the Mob and even tells me stories I didn't know about. If you want to know what it's like trying to shot an indie feature film for a bi-polar, egomaniacal gangster then perk up those ears cause you are going to love this extremely entertaining episode.
LISTEN TO THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS
After months of the IFH Tribe asking me, I finally finished the audiobook version of Shooting for the Mob. It was a tough project to finish but I knew I had to get it to you guys. As a gift for being so patient, I am releasing four chapters of the book for FREE for your listening pleasure.
The goal of this book is to help, not only filmmakers and people interested in having a career in Hollyweird but anyone stuck in a bad situation they feel they can’t get out of. The story illustrates how someone can lose themselves while chasing that golden carrot that is their dream, not to compromise their morals and stand up for themselves.
I hope you really enjoy the story and have fun, laugh, cry and maybe even learn a little something about yourself.
