Thanks for taking the time to visit. Since there is no boy scout handbook for people contemplating a life in showbiz, I’ve boiled down my 30 + years and over 700 shows as an independent Hollywood producer into a book, So You Wanna Be A Producer? It’s intended to help the reader avoid a lot of the mistakes I made and, hopefully, improve their chances for getting lucky in a business they love that won’t necessarily love them back.

So You Wanna Be A Producer? is a 400-page book featuring 130 essays on a wide variety of subjects, including a complete budget for anyone seriously considering jumping into this shark tank. In light of the fact that the average film school costs $25,000 a year, the $24.95 is a small investment that will definitely help you determine whether you’re cut out for this business.

And if you order right now, I’ve included a second book, Adventures of a Migrant Film Worker , absolutely free that tells hair-raising tales of what it’s like working inside the belly of the beast!

When you click on the Video Essays, you’ll be able to see and hear a couple of short pieces. In order to get an idea about what you'll be getting, there are half a dozen free samples to read. The Video Resume is a small taste of some of the mayhem the author has been responsible for.

Check out the chapter headings and if you like what you see, order up a copy of the book and make both of us happy.
