A sequel to the critically acclaimed "My First Movie," Stephen Lowenstein once again talks to some of our most celebrated filmmakers about their debut films.
Lowenstein interviews ten directors about their career-launching film and how they got the movie off the ground: how they raised the finance, found actors, searched for locations, worked with the crew and saw the project through to completion. Filmmakers interviewed include Richard Linklater on "Slacker"; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu on "Amores Perros"; Terry Gilliam on "Jabberwocky"; and Sam Mendes on "American Beauty." A wonderfully rich compendium that is lively, informative, funny, and often surprising.
