Film producer Don Hahn offers his own unorthodox, yet highly effective methods for reawakening the creative spirit. Blending personal and often hilarious ancedotes with prescriptive advice for rediscovering your creative self, Hahn explores the emotions that accompany creativity and discusses the importance of constructing a creative environment.
Hahn describes the creative process in stages and lists the forces that drive creativity: balance, chaos, persistence, truth - plus chocolate and coffee. Best of all, he demonstrates how his theories can be put into practice, using his own highly successful career as an example.

Reviews

Seems like anyone who gets paid for writing is qualified to write a "how-to" book encouraging wannabe writers. Here, Hahn, author of Disney's Animation Magic: A Behind the Scenes Look at How an Animated Film Is Made (Hyperion, 1996) and the producer of Disney blockbusters The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, adds his thoughts. Hahn tells us "if I can do it, you can too," and his chatty, anecdotal style is warmly encouraging. But this is motivational reading, not a practical guide for serious students. To develop or reawaken a creative spirit requires both a lifestyle that nurtures the imagination and a certain amount of passion and energy. Creative people are creative because of the interesting, unorthodox ways they lead their lives, not because of the promise of profit or celebrity. Humorous, but not a necessary purchase.ADenise S.
