Light Years by Tom McDonough
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This account of filmmaking and the consequences/sacrifices/gratifications of being a filmmaker (yes, there are consequences/sacrifices) is a rare commodity amidst the abundant supply of anecdotal/self-aggrandazing set stories ("So Marty [Scorsese] and I were talking one day on set...") as well as the easily found conveyance of the technical. McDonough is a thinking filmmaker, who laments his profession as much as he loves it. And, in truly attitudinal counterpoint, depricates himself as opposed to the cacophony of self-inflating spin that most filmmakers glaze over their more meaningless work. Tom McDonough's written work gives the cynic hope in the profession, process and culture of filmmaking; and it is my hope that he inspires others to "think" as much as they "do" in the study, practice and profession.
