It is my personal memoir of everything I learned while assisting my mentor, Brian De Palma, which prepared me for my own successful career as a director on over 50 movies, including Elvira’s Haunted Hills and the De Palma-esque thriller Acting on Impulse starring Nancy Allen (Carrie, Home Movies, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out).
