GRANADA HILLS, CA, December 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) Valley author and resident, Vincent Rocca, has published Rebel without a Deal, a 334page book that chronicles Rocca's firsthand experiences making the cult indie movie Kisses and Caroms. Inspiring moviemakers and film lovers will enjoy this first ever complete moviemaking resource that contains every aspect of filmmaking down to profit and loss statements.
Rocca's $11,000. film garnered distribution from Warner Bros. landing on the shelves of Wal*Mart and has gone on to gross over $1 million dollars. Unlike many film books that only discuss making and marketing movies, Rebel without a Deal takes it a step further, all the way through distribution to final financial statements detailing Warner Bros. sales figures. This allows the reader to not only experience how the movie came to be, but also why it got distributed and what kind of money was made.
Filmmaking books usually only focus on one aspect of the journey, this is the first real case study to chronicle the entire filmmaking process from concept through to actual financial statements on the films sales. Upcoming filmmakers who are trying to prepare budgets will be elated to discover the financials outlined in this book and the journey Rocca went on to achieve them.
Rebel without a Deal also contains detailed conversations with New York Times bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter/director Kevin Smith as he lends his take on Rocca's journey and shares his own experiences with his first movie, Clerks.
