The Hollywood Way...
June 10th, 2002
Hey gang, Chris here. I wanted to pass on some info about a great book that is just out called The Hollywood Way. It's by Fredericl Levy, who I've gotten to know a little and who I can say is a great guy, and he is the best selling author of Hollywood 101. Both books are MUST reads for ANYONE trying to break into Hollywood regardless of the area (writing, directing, producing, etc.) Here's some more info from the press release:
In the highly competitive entertainment industry, you cant just be good, you have to be the best. In his new book, The Hollywood Way, Frederick Levy follows up his best seller Hollywood 101: The Film Industry, with a guide outlining business strategies to further ones career. The principles Levy has used to rise to the top are not unique to Hollywood. In THE HOLLYWOOD WAY he illustrates how these same skills can be applied to any field.
Levys career-advancing guide features anecdotes and advice from a wide range of key Hollywood players including: Kevin Williamson, writer of Scream and creator of Dawsons Creek, Bryan Singer, director of X-Men and Usual Suspects, nd Bruce Cohen, Academy Award-winning producer of American Beauty. In
addition, THE HOLLYWOOD WAY is a fast, fun read and certain to entertain and educate people from all sides of the workforce, from entry-level employee to seasoned pro.
Key topics include:
Special Effects To Get The Job Doneusing smoke, mirrors & magic to meet impossible deadlines

Levy is his own best example. He became VP of Marty Katz Productions (Titanic, Reindeer Games) by the age of 25, is an instructor at UCLA and USC, and a three-time author. Most recently he was a producer on Frailty starring Matthew McConaughey. Levy shares his secrets and strategies from the
entertainment industry, and shows how they are effectively used in other sectors: business, technology, publishing, politics, and beyond.
