Book Review: All Doors to Hollywood and How To Open Them
All Doors to Hollywood and How To Open Them by Anne M. Strick offers a unique insight in today's Hollywood. For anyone who's ever been curious about the world of movies, who works in them, what their respective roles are, and the many people behind the scenes who help produce a movie, this is the book you need to read. It talks about everything from decoration crew to camera men and some obscure jobs I'd never even heard about.The book explains all roles in detail, based on interviews by various people working in all roles. One of the things that surprised me the most was how many directors are involved in each movie. I guess I always thought it was just one. Another thing is that now, when I watch movie credits, although I may not always know what each role means, I at least got more of a clue of what they're about.
All Doors to Hollywood and How To Open Them in an informative, well-researched book about the movie industry by someone who knows it inside and out. A must read for anyone who wants to break into Hollywood and a recommendation for anyone who likes movies, Hollywood or celebrities.
