Description
Ed Burns shares his remarkable career story in this candid and instructive account of making great movies without Hollywood backing. From humble beginnings as one of three children from a working-class Long Island family, Burns' journey to success is marked by perseverance and passion.
The author's experiences, including the surprise win at Sundance with his first film The Brothers McMullen, illustrate what it takes to make it in independent filmmaking. He shares stories of writing, directing, casting, producing, shooting, and editing films on a shoestring budget, highlighting the importance of focus and drive.
Burns urges aspiring filmmakers to learn from their failures and continue pursuing their goals, making this book an inspiring read for anyone looking for guidance on forging their own path in the film industry.
