Hollywood Assistants; Studio Rights

Hosted by Claude Brodesser-Akner Sep. 01, 2008 Entertainment
We revisit our conversation on Hollywood assistants, with authors Peter Nowalk and Hillary Stamm. Plus, how does a studio spend $100 million on a movie when they don't own the rights?

We revisit our conversation on everything you wanted to know about being an assistant, but we're too terrified to ask with Peter Nowalk and Hillary Stamm, authors of The Hollywood Assistants Handbook: 86 Rules for Aspiring Power Players. Plus, how does a studio spend $100 million on a movie when they don't own the rights?

(This edition of The Business will not air live on KCRW as it will be broadcast by special Labor Day programming.)
