Description
Christopher Fowler's Film Freak is a gritty and humorous account of his journey through the British film industry in the late 1970s. As a young screenwriter, he finds himself struggling to make a name for himself, instead of writing blockbuster films, he's churning out low-budget advertisements. Against all odds, he manages to find success, but not in the way he expected. The book takes the reader on a tour of the arse-end of the British film industry, from the sticky Axminster of the local cinema to the glamour of Cannes. Along the way, Fowler searches for friendship and happiness, and the result is a story that is both grimly hilarious and affecting. Through his experiences, Fowler offers a candid and insightful look at the highs and lows of the film industry, and the challenges of making a career in the arts.
