Foreword by Mike Medavoy who is is one of the most prolific producers and executives in the film business. He was head of production at United Artists when he was in his thirties, and chairman of Orion Pictures, TriStar Pictures, and Phoenix Pictures in the decades that followed. He has produced or been involved with over 300 feature films, including One Flew Over the Cuckoo s Nest, Rocky, The Silence of the Lambs, and Black Swan. Based on actual letters from present and former UCLA film students, the book is organised into self-contained short units, making it easy to pick up and digest. Fun little self quiz in the book... Letters are written to Guest Celebrities such as Sonny Corleone, Rick Blaine (from Casablanca) and more. Have fun trying to guess who each letter is addressed to.
