En savoir plus sur le livre

This revised and updated edition offers an inspiring, candid look at the independent film business from a passionate industry supporter. It captures the rebellious spirit of the indie film boom in 1990s New York City, its subsequent collapse, and its technology-driven resurgence. Ted Hope, whose films have received 12 Oscar nominations, shares insights from his experiences working with filmmakers like Ang Lee, Eddie Burns, and Todd Solondz, as well as his roles at the San Francisco Film Society, Fandor, and Amazon Studios. He delves into the decision-making processes that led to both failures and successes, recounting behind-the-scenes stories from the often tumultuous world of specialized cinema, where art and commerce intersect. As a mediator between these opposing forces, Hope provides a unique perspective on maintaining integrity while navigating the industry. Amid significant changes, including corporate involvement and the rise of streaming platforms, this book offers an entertaining and intimate exploration of arthouse cinema over the years, along with a message of hope for its future. Ang Lee praises Hope's wisdom and heart, highlighting his unique presence in the independent film world.
