SynopsisA documentary account of seven young film school graduates (each of them award-winners or fellowship honorees) through three years of struggle with demeaning internships, financial strain, shots at animation, editing and screenwriting, and--finally--a big-budget directorial debut, which is awarded to one of the original seven. The book is both a road map and a cautionary tale, replete with advice and object lessons.

Industry Reviews"Most of these filmmakers hardly seem the sort to inspire confidence in a studio exec. While they may be a diverse group (black, white, gay, straight), they are almost identical in their unreflective narcissism and their obsession, no so much with films, as with the idea of being FILMMAKERS!"Kirkus Reviews (10/01/1996)eBay Product ID: EPID477559
