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
Josh Becker has been making movies since he was a teenager. His
first film was made at age thirteen, and by 9th grade he was
tackling Oedipus Rex with future cult-icon Bruce Campbell. Since
then he has written and directed numerous short films, four feature
films, several television movies and worked on successful tv shows.
RUSHES is at heart a passionate, honest and opinionated look behind
the scenes of writing, producing and directing low-budget movies.
From Josh's early days working with future Spider-Man director Sam
Raimi on his original Evil Dead to his days writing and directing
Xena: Warrior Princess in New Zealand and beyond, RUSHES is filled
with stories. Whether you're a budding thespian, scriptwriter,
director or you simply just love movies, you'll find insights,
frustrations and answers to your questions in the experiences Josh
has enjoyed and endured in his three and a half decades of
filmmaking trenches. His supporting cast in these adventures
include aforementioned Sam Raimi and frequent collaborator Bruce
Campbell, as well as stars small and great like Anthony Quinn, Lucy
Lawless, Rob Tapert, Renee O'Connor, Gary Jones, Scott Spiegel, Joe
LoDuca, Rick Sandford, Mariah Carey, Stephen Baldwin, John
Cassavetes and many, many others.
Most books about film production assume that you have an idea and a
script to shoot. Most screenwriting books are geared to how to
write a script that you can sell to Hollywood (as though the
authors of these books had the slightest clue) and do not take into
consideration that you might be shooting the script yourself,
possibly with your own money. This book is about how to write a
script properly that you can rationally shoot, how to shoot it, how
to finish it, how to sell it, and also how to get it shown.
