True stories from a life in the screen trade

I dont normally like these diary based novels but this one was well edited, interesting and easy to read. Little snapshots of the trails and tribulations of getting a movie together, I never know how many moving pieces there is to even get one off the ground. That is what this covers, not so much shooting a film, all the work that goes on in the industry. Bruce says he knows it is stressful and unstable, but he has travelled the world, met amazing people and prefers it to an office job. I really enjoyed this insight into his life.

Driving Miss Daisy, Breaker Morant, Puberty Blues, Double Jeopardy, etc.
