Description
Susan Seidelman's memoir is a candid and humorous account of her journey as a trailblazing film director in the 80s and 90s. From her early days as a young woman determined to tell stories about unconventional characters to her success in shaping American pop culture, Seidelman shares her experiences with wit and insight.
Born into a suburban upbringing, Seidelman's desire for escape and reinvention led her to pursue a career in film, despite the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Her films, such as "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Smithereens", reflect her passion for classic Hollywood storytelling and her ability to blend genres.
This memoir offers a unique glimpse into Seidelman's life and career, from her early days as a graduate student in New York City to her success in directing the pilot of the iconic TV series "Sex And The City". With its engaging narrative and behind-the-scenes stories, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the film industry and the women who have shaped it.
