Spike, Mike, Slackers & Dykes《美国独立电影十周年》

中文参考译名：《美国独立电影十周年》

Variety called John Pierson the 'guru of independent film.' Why? Perhaps because he wrote Spike Lee a $10,000 check to finish She's Gotta Have It; sold the documentary Roger & Me for $3 million; made Clerks famous; and managed not to lose his shirt while backing those films he liked most. In short, he's been at the epicenter of the tumultuous last decade that changed independent film forever, and launched a new generation of hilarious, ambitious, and sometimes wacked filmmakers. Here, he tells the unvarnished truth about film financing; the importance of timing and lighting; creating a sensation on the film festival circuit; the anatomy of the deals that get films to a theater somewhere near you; and what definitely not to do if you want to make a film. Throughout the book, Pierson and Clerks creator Kevin Smith dish about everything from Batman, sex, and Quentin Tarantino to American Psycho, Matty Rich, and Rob 'Vanilla' Weiss. This book is an inside look at the art, the heart, and the enterprise of the world of independent film.
