How To Make It In Hollywood Before You Make It
63 minutes Documentary / Educational / Female Filmmakers / Reality
How To Make It In Hollywood Before You Make It is a motivational glimpse of ten relevant and very different emerging artists in Hollywood, all at different stages in their careers.
Intended Audience: Family
In 1970, there was no internet, cell phone, VCR, DVD player, or cable television. All of these things factor into the equation of making it in Hollywood today. Rather than listen to movie giants talk about how they made it thirty years ago, or what it’s like working with big movie stars, HOW TO MAKE IT IN HOLLYWOOD BEFORE YOU MAKE IT is portrait of 10 emerging artists on the frontlines of Hollywood, running the gamut from actors, writers, producers, dancers, singers and songwriters, all at different stages in their careers... “Just about to break out, maybe they just broke out, and hopefully they will break out.”
Lisa Heile has sung background with countless stars, yet she herself is not a star; Ken Cosby has a famous name, yet he has no fame; and after nine years of options, David L. Watts had his spec script “My Greatest Mistake” turned into a major Hollywood release, but when the movie came out, he did not receive a screenplay credit. A star in Hollywood is exactly that –
"How To Make It In Hollywood Before You Make It" is a sincere look at the challenges artists face in the entertainment industry, as well as the perseverance they must maintain in order to succeed. Shot with bare bones production values, it presents candid conversations with the hard facts for people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and take the steps necessary to be a success.
