The resulting book is an intimate portrait of Cassavetes, and a unique insight into his filmmaking philosophy.

The book is packed with insider details and anecdotes about Cassavetes, his actors and his Hollywood peers. It is an essential read for students, filmmakers, film historians and all fans of contemporary cinema.
