"Over the years I have worked with self-proclaimed masters-of-the-universe, unheralded geniuses, hacks, sociopaths, savants, and saints." He has encountered these Hollywood types over four decades of directing, producing, and writing projects that have collectively received eighteen Academy Award nominations (seven wins) and sixty-seven Emmy nominations (twenty-two wins). Though there are many factors behind such success, including luck and the contributions of his creative partner Marshall Herskovitz, he's known to have a special talent for bringing out the best in the people he's worked with, especially the actors. In those intense collaborations, he's sought to discover the small pieces of connective tissue, vulnerability, and fellowship that can help an actor realize their character in full. Talents whom he spotted early include Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Claire Danes, and Jared Leto. Established stars he worked closely with include Leonardo DiCaprio, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Daniel Craig, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and Jennifer Connelly. As if that wasn't enough, he sued Harvey Weinstein over the production of Shakespeare in Love, and won. He shares personal stories about all these people, and more. Written mostly with love, sometimes with rue, this memoir is also a meditation on working, sprinkled throughout with tips for anyone who has ever imagined writing, directing, or producing for the screen. Fans with an appreciation for the beautiful mysteries, as well as the unsightly, often comic truths, of crafting film and television won't want to miss it. 600 10 $a Zwick, Edward. 650 0 $a Motion picture producers and directors $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Television producers and directors $z United States $v Biography. 650 6 $a Producteurs et reÌalisateurs de cineÌma $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0238533 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 $a Producteurs et reÌalisateurs de teÌleÌvision $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 $z EÌtats-Unis $0 (CaQQLa)201-0235720 $v Biographies. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Entertainment & Performing Arts. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300080104 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 655 7 $a Livres audio. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000202 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9152D52AF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
