"It's A Wrap"

Adventures around the world spanning 50 years of filmmaking

-ASC Press Publisher-

When the expression “It’s a Wrap” is heard at the end of a long day’s filming it is often a welcomed and anticipated phrase. When it is heard before lunch, it’s a shock and without doubt prefaced by a highly unusual occurrence. Despite months of meticulous planning by the most experienced and seasoned film industry professionals, the only thing that can be anticipated during the filming of any project is the totally unexpected. Production can be brought to a standstill by events as mundane as an incorrect weather report, or by the more dramatic, such as actors portraying criminals being mistaken by the police for real criminals, the accidental sinking of a friend’s million dollar yacht or "artistic disagreements" between key personnel.

From above the Artic Circle to Rainforests of the Amazon to the even more dangerous back lots of Hollywood Studios, "It's A Wrap" chronicles the surprising and amusing moments which during my 50 year career altered the course of productions as well as my life.

"In the world of filmmaking, the best stories don't always end up on the screen."
