T. Anderson to Spike Jonze to the godfather of them all, Steven Soderbergh\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHollywood is undergoing a renaissance, spawned by a vanguard of auteurs who for more than a decade have managed to turn La-La Land upside down. With films like \u003ci\u003eBoogie Nights, Rushmore, Being John Malkovich\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMemento\u003c\/i\u003e, young filmmakers have in many ways forced the major studios to march to the beat of their very different drummer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSundance Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, James Mottram paints a vibrant portrait of Hollywood as it stands today. Focusing on writers and directors who made their debuts in the nineties, Mottram takes a close look at how these mavericks have impacted the cinematic landscape. He explores the current state of the Hollywood studios; what it can mean now to be \"independent\" in the wake of mini-majors like Miramax and New Line; the particular influence of uncompromising artists like Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino; the unique platform provided them by the Sundance Film Festival; the contribution of British filmmakers like Sam Mendes to the mix; and how, for the first time since Paddy Chayefsky, writers such as Charlie Kaufman are becoming household names while playing a key part in the new Hollywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Mottram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0865479674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865479678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.40d","brand":"James Mottram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598257942783,"sku":"9780865479678","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8648d435-eab2-4640-acea-af91d8c7a2ea.jpg?v=1702381489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sundance-kids-james-mottram-9780865479678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
