What does the Hollywood film industry look like from the inside? How were the visuals of the three-headed dog Fluffy, Voldemort and Stuart Little created? Are there limits to imagination and creative self-expression?
In his autobiographical book, one of the most successful Bulgarians in Hollywood tells the stories that marked his professional way, which starts from Steven Spielberg's London studio and reaches California, from where he connects Los Angeles-London-Sozopol-Sofia. Following this route, where the film studios are also engaged in large-scale productions, the narrative follows the rise of a remarkable artistic career accompanied by successes and failed projects, a tense creative rhythm and working in relentless competition.
With fresh humor and a strong dose of self-irony, the author draws us into the creation of a whole visual world inhabited by elves, dwarves and giants, by queens and many funny, scary and grotesque characters - a real factory for fantasies and dreams. It reveals the image of a colorful environment in which the figures of directors, writers and producers such as Robert Zemeckis, Chris Columbus, Rob Minkoff and David Heyman, Tom Hanks and Steven Tyler, as well as a number of star names, part of the machine called the film industry, stand out.
