Book summary

John Pierson personifies the business of independent films. He wrote Spike Lee a check for $10,000 to finish "She's Gotta Have It," closed a $3 million deal with a major studio for Michael Moore's documentary "Roger & Me," made "Slacker" a household word, and took 15 films to the almighty Sundance Film Festival. He provides an account of what goes on behind the scenes in independent film--how talent is spotted and encouraged and how off-Hollywood projects are sold. Also, Kevin Smith, the maker of "Clerks," shares his own trials and tribulations throughout the book.
