Summary: Self-published author and film enthusiast Adrian Robbe gives filmmakers an honest and illuminating overview of the Oscar® competition and the role that the Hollywood film industry played in it from 1997 to 2004.
Press Release: Lancaster, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2006 -- In conjunction with Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world's fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books, self-published author and film enthusiast Adrian Robbe's new book -- "AND THE OSCAR® GOES TO..." (How does a filmmaker become an Academy Award ® winner?) -- offers both aspiring and seasoned filmmakers essential facts that need to be considered when competing for an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, Best Director, and/or Best Screenplay. Divulging the cloak-and-dagger winning trends of how to successfully posture a film to be a serious competitor at the Academy Awards®, the author discusses how each variable contributes to being nominated for and/or winning an Oscar®. Analysis of changes in the historical, cultural, and political contexts of the Hollywood film industry and how they influence Academy membership voting for winning an Oscar are also analyzed.
Based upon a year of extensive research of the on-line Official Academy Awards Database and the published works of well-respected film critics and other authors, Adrian Robbe says, "I gleaned the fields of the Oscar competition and discovered several clandestine trends that are bound to help filmmakers successfully posture their motion picture to be a serious competitor for an Academy Award nomination."
Seeking to make the product of his research to be of practical use for current filmmakers, the author provides them with a simple method of measurement (known as the "Green-Light (GL) Factor") to determine the Oscar potential a movie idea has during the green-lighting phase. In addition, he presents filmmakers with a new, innovative risk assessment technique [the Campaign Investment Risk Assessment (CIRA) Score] that serves as a logical decision-making tool for movie producers to assist them in making an informed decision prior to investing money in campaigning for a film nominated for Best Picture.
