Synopsis
This new 50th anniversary edition of the classic 1971 book The Total FilmMaker is now being released by the Jerry Lewis Estate and Michael Wiese Productions with all-new, never-before-seen photos of Jerry on set and with his family and friends, and a new foreword by Leonard Maltin. The Total FilmMaker was originally written and based on over 480 hours of Jerry’s guest lecture series at USC Film School in 1966, where his then-students included aspiring young filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. From script to postproduction, it covers the complete arc of filmmaking as taught by one of the first and most original writer/director/producer/actors in Hollywood.

About the Author
A star director explains every phase of fundamental film technique - from Production and Direction to Distribution. Manuscript culled from 480 hours of Jerry Lewis lectures at the University of Southern California. Includes chapters on every aspect of filmmaking, from setting up a deal with a studio to distribution and invaluable advice on working with [and selecting] actors, cast and crew. Though originally written in 1971, the book still resonates with wisdom and verve in Lewis's inimitable style and honesty. New collectors edition updated to include all the original text of the previously published editions. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: About the Author JERRY LEWIS has acted or directed or written or produced-and sometimes all of them at once-in more than forty films. Twice he has been voted the Best Foreign Director of the Year by the French film critics. His innovations, such as the remarkable set pictured on the back of this book, have been landmarks in the film industry. He was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1926 and has been involved in the entertainment industry for more than a quarter of a century-on the stage, in nightclubs, on television and in motion pictures. Mr. Lewis passed on in August 2017 but his memory lives on.
