Genius Ideas - Business Plan Workbook by Tiffany Johnson

From the writer/director of cult classics comes a memoir that's equal parts revealing autobiography and indie film crash course.

Don Coscarelli turned genre film on its head with mind-blowing horror/sci-fi/fantasy mashups like>Phantasm, The Beastmaster, Bubba Ho-Tep and>John Dies at the End. Now he's inviting you on board for an entertaining and uncompromising look at how it all happened.

Bear witness to the creation of a wildly inventive horror thriller about inter-dimensional grave robbing that became a franchise phenomenon spanning four decades and counting.

You'll tag along as Coscarelli chaperones three out-of-control child stars on a tour of Japan, almost drowns Catherine Keener in her first film role, and turns a short story originally deemed unfilmable by its own author into a beloved cult classic. You'll also learn why he refuses to sit in a director's chair, why getting Hollywood legend Ossie Davis to wrestle a rubber mummy wasn't nearly as much fun as it sounds, and why shooting an intimate moment between a ferret and a tiger has become an important metaphor for Coscarelli's career.

And you'll learn how he managed to retain creative and financial control of his creations in an industry ruled by power-addicted predators, and all without going insane or bankrupt.

True Indie will prove indispensable for film fans, aspiring filmmakers, and anyone who loves an underdog success story.

Only six people who were in the water survived. Tiffany is one of them. She was swept away down the Saxetenbach Gorge, watching friends perish before her eyes.The Swiss Canyoning Disaster captured the attention of the media around the globe including the New York Times, the Guardian in the UK, and the BBC. *** Tiffany's journey began in a search for self. She sought her truth unsuccessfully as she journeyed out of rural Australia to University and tropical resorts, through messy relationships and ultimately overseas to Europe. She came to see that her life was as big as a mountain, only for the world which she was creating to come crashing down in the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster. Returning home to Australia, back to where her journey began, she is finally brave enough now to share her story. These events have shaped her writing and her perspective on life. She has found her voice and wants to help others find their voice too. Tiffany's writing has been published in Circle - Diabetes Australia national magazine. She has worked as Artist Director for the cookbook - 'Tastes that make a difference' and was the illustrator for the poetry book, 'Journeys of the Heart' by D.S. Elliott. Tiffany is a featured speaker for the Human Library Movement, plus community advocacy groups such as Rotary and White Ribbon. Tiffany has become an advocate of trauma survivors and diabetics. She is a member of Writers Victoria and the Australian Society of Authors. When not writing, you can find Tiffany cooking up a storm in the kitchen with her family all singing to Frank Sinatra or sitting in her garden drinking tea while pondering what inspiration the world will bring for her next creative adventure. Tiffany has settled down with her two children, her ever-so-patient husband and two dogs - who are not as patient. BRAVE ENOUGH NOW is her debut memoir and is currently working on her second manuscript, a sequel to Brave Enough Now.
