Invaluable to the recent film school grad, young director

Having recently graduated from one of those big film schools, I struggle with my pride as I fetch coffee and bagels in the real world of filmmaking. This book reaffirms (in a comforting way) that yes, I have chosen a difficult career for myself, and yes, I will be faced with attacks upon my ego. It adresses what the recent grad, Production Assistant, film set gofer is going through. But then it moves on, says with little hesitation that one must persevere, and starts getting into the stuff needed to make it in this town. Getting an agent. Gaining exposure. Festivals. Building a reel. What to do with connections. With real world advice from "working" directors and agents on almost every page of this volume, it is a fast read that welcomes multiple reads. Even includes an agent list complete with honest remarks from the editor, as well as info on festivals. A must to the aspiring independant filmmaker AND/OR those interested in breaking into the Hollywood system. Inspiring AND honest.
