Reeling Through Hollywood description:
|
|
|
"...a powerful tutorial in independent film making."
Tom Rickman, screenwriter (Coal Miner's Daughter)
"...obligatory for anyone considering a creative life. The story is rich in detail, funny and honest. Bessie has compromised no more than he had to, and revews a rich and sometimes desperate life as a creative person who sustained hmself by wit and wile. I hope I'll be able to say as much about my own.
Peter Coyote, actor (ET, Cross Creek, Erin Brocovich)
"...shows us the REAL tinsel, behind the scenes where the action is... often hilarious, sometimes sobering, and always iluminating, it is the story of a man who kept his heart in an often brutal industry."
Lucia Capacchione, PHD, Art Therapist, author: The
Creative Journal and 13 other titles

| Mary D. Jones / Curled Up With a Good Book: | | After 40 years in show biz, Bessie lays it all down on the pages of this book, which is part memoir, part how-to (or better still, how not-to), and part inside scoop. It’s a book that is as fascinating as the subject matter – Hollywood, written by someone who actually jumped into the fire and lived to tell about it, and to go on to a career as an independent filmmaker. With plenty of heart, lots of laughs and a surefire collection of stories that say more about Hollywood than any grocery store tabloid, Reeling Through Hollywood is an entertaining and informative book about having what it takes to take it until you make your break. |
| fearlessbooks.com: | | Director, producer, animator, screenplay writer… Dan Bessie has done it all. And he has done it very well — even if you’re not certain if you’ve ever heard of him or his work. In this funny and deeply touching memoir, Bessie bares his soul and shares the secret of his successes and his not-quite-so successful ventures. A sparkling read filled with both pathos and comedy, Bessie’s story presents a no-holds-barred look into the film industry and the creative characters that thrive within its community. |
