Product Description
Product Description
A sequel to the critically acclaimed My First Movie, Stephen Lowenstein once again talks to some of our most celebrated filmmakers about their debut films. Lowenstein interviews ten directors about their career-launching film and how they got the movie off the ground: how they raised the finance, found actors, searched for locations, worked with the crew and saw the project through to completion. Filmmakers interviewed include Richard Linklater on Slacker; Alejandro González Iñárritu on Amores Perros; Terry Gilliam on Jabberwocky; and Sam Mendes on American Beauty. A wonderfully rich compendium that is lively, informative, funny, and often surprising.

Highly Recommended
9 Jan 2010
I read this book when I was on a "writing retreat" in Goa, finalizing the script of my next film. It was kind of a ritual--I would wake up, swim, have breakfast, read one of the interviews, and then begin the writing for the day. Except I couldn't write right away. Every time I finished reading an interview, I would have to put the book down and think. I would think about my past, what I was doing on that day, how I wanted my future to pan out. I thought about raising kids, I thought about what I believed in artistically, creatively. I asked myself what kind of filmmaker I wanted to be. (Hopefully my script is better for it.)
I really can't ask for much more from a book. I would highly recommend it to anyone in a creative field (especially filmmakers) and anyone who wants to be in a creative field and isn't (especially those in advertising). While all the interviews are pretty good, the interviews with Innaritu and Moodyson are ones that I will probably go back to the most.
