Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An inspiring, tellall look at the indie film business from one of the industrys most passionate producers, Hope for Film captures the rebellious punk spirit of the indie film boom in 1990s New York City, its collapse two decades later and its current moment of technologyfueled regeneration. Ted Hope, whose films have garnered 12 Oscar nominations, draws from his own personal experiences working on the early films of Ang Lee, Eddie Burns, Hal Hartley, Michel Gondry, Nicole Holofcener, Todd Solondz and other indie mavericks, relating those decisions that brought him success as well as the occasional failure.Whether navigating negotiations with Harvey Weinstein over final cuts or clashing with highpowered CAA agents over their clients, Hope offers behindthescenes stories from the wild and often heated world of lowbudget cinemawhere art and commerce collide. As mediator between these two opposing interests, Hope offers his unique perspective on how to make movies while keeping your integrity intact and how to create a sustainable business enterprise out of that art while staying true to yourself. Against a backdrop of seismic changes in the indiefilm industry, from corporate cooption to the rise of social media, Hope for Film provides not only an entertaining and intimate ride through the ups and downs of the business of arthouse movies over the last 25 years, but also hope for its future.
