Download or read book Francis Ford Coppola written by Michael Schumacher and published by Crown. This book was released on 1999 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "So you still want to direct films?" Coppola wearily asked one of his assistants after a long day of shooting on The Godfather. "Always remember three things. Have the definitive script ready before you shoot. There'll always be some changes, but they should be small ones. Second, work with people you trust and feel secure with. Remember good crew people you've worked with on other films and get them for your film. Third, make your actors feel very secure so they can do their job well." Pausing for a moment, Coppola considered his advice. "I've managed to do none of these things on this film," he concluded. Francis Ford Coppola is one of the seminal filmmakers of the generation that changed the way movies are made. Five of the films he's worked on are listed among the American Film Institute's top 100 films ever made. He is a man who's spent his life seeking to realize his own artistic vision even as he acknowledges the force that truly drives Hollywood--box office receipts. Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life is the first complete picture of the flawed cinematic genius who directed the Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation, and other distinctive films--some wildly successful, some disastrous. Coppola is on every film aficionado's list of Hollywood's greatest directors. But he is renowned nearly as much for his mistakes as for his masterpieces, for his bluster as for his brilliance, for the money he has lost as for the fortunes he has made. In an era when playing it safe seems to be the credo of the Hollywood/Wall Street complex, Coppola is a driven, unpredictable renegade who has repeatedly gambled everything in an effort to bring hisideas to life, regardless of the cost. In Francis Ford Coppola, we hear the entire story of this man's career covered in more detail than ever before: from his apprenticeship under Roger Corman to his winning a Director's Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. Along the way, we learn how he turned a pulp Mafia novel into a cinematic classic, how he almost literally killed himself during the filming of Apocalypse Now, and how he confirmed Hollywood's predictions about him, with various flops and follies along the way. In the hands of biographer Michael Schumacher--who gained unprecedented access to Coppola's friends, critics, peers, casts, and crews--the story of Francis Ford Coppola makes for irresistible reading and the first complete picture of this complex, conflicted genius.

Book excerpt: Herbert Brenon, was one of the most influential film directors and producers in the history of the American cinema.

He was a unique film visionary, constantly experimenting, using his intelligence to push America to new heights of ambitious achievement in the world of motion pictures. At Universal, Fox, Paramount, United Artists, MGM and RKO, he created evocative worlds. In the fields of fantasy and action adventure he made movies which became the prototype of their respective genres. Brenon directed Clara Bow, Loretta Young, Dolores Del Rio, and even the famous stage actresses Alla Nazimova and Dame Ellen Terry. For the first time, the story of how Herbert Brenon came to be so dominant in the heyday of the cinema and the background to the filming of the Brenon silent classics, The Spanish Dancer, Peter Pan, Beau Geste and The Great Gatsby, are told for readers to enjoy.Ian Graham brings Herbert Brenon to life, from his birth in Dublin, into a family whose friends included Parnell and Oscar Wilde, to his education in Britain, and his dazzling career in the early days of the American movie business. The most globetrotting of the early film pioneers, the book details Brenon's incredible film adventures in England, France and Germany, before the first world war, and his experiences making fantasy films in Bermuda and Jamaica, with the Australian swimmer, Annette Kellerman. Brenon's adventures in Italy during the 1920s are also included in the story. His championing of the feature film as the preferred format for motion pictures, and his promotion of the concept of film education in the the United States are also examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a panoramic view of the rise and growth of Nollywood, Nigeria’s movie and home video entertainment industry, into the second largest and most prolific movie-producing industry in the world. It offers an analysis of Nollywood’s influence as a local and global cultural force. Scholars from Africa, the African Diaspora and beyond examine the factors that have shaped Nollywood’s unique story-telling, production, and distribution system. The volume shows how internal and external economic, social, cultural and technological changes intersect to define Nollywood’s film-making and entertainment ethos. It is grounded in sound theoretical perspectives that help readers understand the texts and subtexts of the industry’s emergence, transformation, and impact. The range of subjects covered span Nollywood’s historical roots in Nigeria pre-colonial traveling/community theatre to colonial era film-making, and its contemporary spin-offs and inspired cousins across Africa and in Europe. It illuminates the interface of artistic, business, cultural and technological innovation and creativity at the heart of Africa’s local and global pop culture explosion.
