Description
Five decades behind the camera — on all seven continents. Ever wondered what really goes on behind the camera? In Adventures in Filmmaking (2013), Canadian filmmaker Peter Rowe — who has filmed on all seven continents — takes readers on a rollicking journey through five decades of moviemaking.
From underground films and acid rockumentaries of the sixties to extreme-location documentaries of today, Rowe’s career has been anything but ordinary: balanced on the rim of an active volcano in Africa, braving nature’s most unforgiving corners, navigating independent film production with equal parts ingenuity and nerve — plus exotic locations, encounters with beautiful starlets, and behind-the-scenes gossip that never makes the press kit.
Not a dry how-to but a filmmaker’s memoir told with humor, honesty, and a born storyteller’s timing — full of close calls, lucky breaks, and hard-won lessons from a life chasing the perfect shot.
