This book was extremely informative. I t is a biography on producer Ed Feldman’s experience with Hollywood from his start in marketing to becoming a producer. It has a lot of first hand encounters with stars and moguls. Feldman also has a section at the end that summarizes his guide on being a producer. I read this book mostly because I noticed a student had an interest in being a producer and she also had a hard time working well with others. One thing that Feldman make a point of is that a movie is a collaborative effort. I like the book a lot and I think the student will too if she can get past the old movie references that are before her time.
