I attended author Eve Honthaner’s class at USC in 2004. Titled “Breaking In, Hanging In and Making It,” the class gave me all the skills and tools necessary to make it into the film industry in Hollywood. Her encouragement and burning desire to help people succeed in following their dreams translates well from the classroom to the page. For those who don’t have 6 weeks and $2,000 to spend on her enlightening course at USC, this book is a real bargain. If you are serious about pursuing a career in Hollywood, “Hollywood Drive” will teach you the importance of networking and all the other skills necessary to get your foot in the door. Using the tried and true methods of Eve Honthaner, I got my first job in Hollywood with Fox — and many more to follow. I now recommend this book to everyone who dreams of Hollywood and has the courage to pursue that dream.
For those considering a career in the film business this is a “must read”. All the training in film school doesn’t give you the nitty gritty about the ins and outs of the business that this book does.
You wouldn’t know this book is a great marketing book and writers should read this one. The book focuses on the film industry but there is a wealth of information in here about marketing yourself that writers can benefit from. There are some great excercises you can use to start defining yourself and begin your publicity. Whether it is for your book, screenplay or yourself.
