Tough Sh*t book review

A book by Kevin Smith

This book was a great read it focuses on all aspect of his life and some of his work.

This is his advice book for us.

Some of the stuff he talks about is the ideas for his films and working with his peers and the big cooperation that brought his first film and other indie film makers Miramax.

The Miramax chapter is quite interesting giving you more insight into the world of film business and  how they operate.

You know how cool you think some actors are well there is a nice chapter on Bruce Willis and you might change your opinions about him after it.

Its hard to think that even big time directors lose inspiration and creativity well this sir did but he bounced back after he was inspired by hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and his life's work. Fair play to him it shows that we all are inspired by different people.

A fantastic chapter was about his film Red State and how he got investors to back this movie and distributed it himself by selling rights to V.O.D and other companies and touring around the U.S and screening and do Q.A. This had never really been done before and was a big rick to take but it paid off. The film is pretty good too by the way,

Have you heard the story about when Kevin got thrown off a plane well in you haven't your in luck     cause that's included too with is humiliation.

Most of the stuff in the book you would probably already know if you are a fan of his and been following him for a while or even listening to his podcasts which he has many.  

Kevin has always been very vocal and passionate about his wife and child well they both get their own small chapter which shows his love for both, showing not only is he a business man but also a caring family man

The book is a thanks for fans and even if your not a fan if it still read it you may change your opinion about him.

I will always admire this man for his film, books and podcasts efforts and he is an idol to me and goes to show that if you put your mind and will to anything that you can achieve it.

Thanks for reading

Dave
