Hollywood War Stories: How to Survive in the Trenches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500991616)

Hollywood War Stories: How to Survive in the Trenches is an often funny, always enlightening, insider's view on how to navigate the shark-infested waters of "show biz." Filled with anecdotal "war stories" of working with Academy-award winning talent, each short chapter explains a rule to follow to survive like "Good Ideas Don't Just Fall Off a Turnip Truck," Humility is a Highly Over-rated Virtue" and many, many more. For anyone contemplating or working in "the industry," this is a navigation map to ride the roller coaster of creating and producing music, comedy, acting, television, video, advertising and the movie business. Including script pages and description of scenes produced, this is a colorfully-candid guide book for entertainment junkies who crave the behind-the-scenes stories of the performing arts. Author Rick Friedberg's experiences encompass the do's and don'ts of dealing with the frustrations and politics that can and must be overcome to forge a lasting career in "the industry."
