Before Josh Becker made movies with some of the past giants of the
silver screen like Anthony Quinn, Josh grew up making movies with
some of the current giants of the silver screen, namely his
childhood buddies Sam Raimi (of Spider-Man fame) and B-movie legend
Bruce Campbell. Today Josh is a well respected film and tv
director-writer, and the author of two other books. When he left
his home in Michigan in 1976 at the age of 17 and moved to
Hollywood, all he knew was that he was pursuing his dream - to be
in the film business. Arriving, he found that dreams don't always
work out like they do up on the silver screen. Gaining a foothold
in this notoriously difficult line of work requires as much
passion, luck and ambition as it does frustration, heartbreak and
folly. GOING HOLLYWOOD is the true story of a driven young man
willing to go to the ends of the earth in order to fulfill his
dreams. "Becker earns my respect for putting everything on the line
for his art and never holding back on his honest opinions." -Steven
Puchalski, Shock Cinema ..".his near obsessive determination to
make a good genre film is admirable. It is through his frustrating
grasps at success that we glimpse his real character. He is both a
dedicated fan and filmmaker." -Ted Geoghegan, Fangoria
