{"product_id":"too-real-a-hollywood-memoir","title":"Too Real: A Hollywood Memoir","description":"The true story behind America’s most infamous independent film and one movie star’s obsession with destroying it.\nThe decades long dispute between indie film producer, Dale Wheatley, and two of Hollywood’s biggest stars comes to a head in this raw, revealing, and often hilarious memoir.\nSet in 1990s Los Angeles, during a golden age of American independent film, Too Real: A Hollywood Memoir follows Dale as he emigrates from Canada to California in search of Hollywood glory. Within months, Dale is accepted into a close group of friends that includes some of Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming actors, and they quickly begin collaborating on a low-budget improvisational film.\nTheir experiment succeeds and the film garners interest from major film distributors, but one of the film's stars decides the performances were too real for his aspirations, and he begins a clandestine campaign that will eventually destroy life-long friendships and careers and ban an American film forever.\nBlacklisted and broken, Dale finds himself on a new path in life, to end the suppression of his work and reclaim his stolen dreams.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DGWDPSPH\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0DGWDPSPH.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wheatley, Dale\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
