Reviews

"""Epp's book is a lovely, very readable timeline of his significant achievements as a director who happens to have the good fortune to be a Black man...The book is really a beautiful success story of a man who pursued his dream, brought others along with him, and refused to take 'no' for an answer. It is surely an inspirational, honest history, and beyond a book about the obstacles of race, speaks to the triumph of taking a leap of faith, and giving 100 percent of yourself to your dream.""--San Diego Jewish World ""Epp's memoir is a textured, personal dive into his career...dynamic and confident""--The Daily Californian"
