BOOK SYNOPSIS
No other book details the pitfalls, snares, punji-sticks, and roadblocks that novice filmmakers encounter like The Reel Truth. New York University Stern School of Business professor of film marketing and Harvard Business School research associate Reed Martin interviews more than one hundred luminaries from the independent film world on the near misses that almost derailed their first and second films and the close shaves that could have cut their careers short. Other books may tell you the best way to make your independent film, but no other book describes so candidly how to spot and avoid (1) The Top 50 Mistakes Every First-Timer Makes, (2) The Do-Nothing Line Producer, (3) Nightmare Investors, (4) Bad Actors, (5) Screenplay Thieves, (6) Scam Artists, (7) Big Talkers, (8) The Top 10 Distribution Dealbreakers, (9) Backstabbing Best Friends, and (10) The Sundance Dream Wrecking Ball.
From personal experience and his years as a freelance reporter covering independent film for USA Today and Filmmaker magazine, Reed Martin uncovers the truth about the risks and potential rewards that go with chasing celluloid glory.
