Part memoir, part primer, part cautionary tale, this book takes the reader along on a filmmaker's 12-year journey through Hollywood Hell, culminating in the movie "Angels In Stardust" (2016), starring Alicia Silverstone, AJ Michalka, and Billy Burke. Describing meetings with producers, agents, managers, hustlers, wannabes, and famous celebrities, and how he overcame the host of problems encountered while trying to produce a movie, William Robert Carey's humorous and confessional narrative illustrates why it takes a minor miracle, a cabinet of liquor, and plenty of Pepto-Bismol to complete a film. Copies of his option agreement, script sales contract, and director's contract, crafted by LA entertainment attorneys, are included as a valuable guide for aspiring filmmakers.
