Peter Miller decided to make a film about his methodology for choosing authors and projects.
With more than thirty years of experience in the publishing and motion picture industries, herein lie his personal observations about the entertainment industries for the fifteen million plus aspiring authors that exist in the U.S. and the world.He hopes that the film will help them to get published or produced faster and better.
Unlike the book Author! Screenwriter! (Adams Media, ISBN #1-59337-553-0), this film features digitally recorded interviews with authors, editors, publishers, producers, film managers, filmmakers and screenwriters. The film is approximately 150 minutes long and features twenty-eight interviews digitally recorded in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City.
