Breaking In: How 20 Film Directors Got Their Start

A naked-truth collection of interviews with today�s hottest film directors detailing how they made their first films and "broke into" the movie industry.

When Nicholas Jarecki graduated from New York Universityâ��s film school at the age of nineteen, he knew that he wanted to make movies, but the fortress-like wall around the film industry proved hard to crack. So he set out to talk to some of Hollywoodâ��s greatest filmmakers about how they got started, thinking that if he learned their stories, he might well find his own road to success. The end result is Breaking In, a sizzling look at the movie industry that delivers candid advice from twenty of todayâ��s most provocative directors — from the blockbuster kings to the arthouse visionaries.

Filled with insights they don�t teach you in film school, Breaking In offers readers access to some of Hollywood�s greatest minds, revealing what sparked their passion for film and what they did to get their first break. From the creation of the script to the first day�s shoot to the roller-coaster of marketing and promotion, the directors share unique insights into the myriad ways of getting films off the ground, and offer a wealth of practical tips for aspiring filmmakers. Their interviews also present an insider�s glimpse of their sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous, but always exhilarating rides to the top.
