Jaws: Memories from Martha's Vineyard by Matt Taylor
The filming of the blockbuster film Jaws is regarded as a landmark event in both the history of motion pictures and the quaint New England island of Martha's Vineyard, where the geographic isolation necessitated the hiring of hundreds of locals to work as actors and laborers. Among this virtual army of hometown participants were numerous professional and amateur photographers, each with full access to the production's inner workings--for the first time ever this compiles their behind-the-scenes photographs and stories into a treasure trove of Jaws rarities. Included are a foreword by director Steven Spielberg, interviews with production designer Joe Alves, screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, location casting director Shari Rhodes, and more, providing an unprecedented all-access pass to the creation of some of the most memorable and terrifying scenes in film history. This unique compendium is the first to focus on the production's local participants, telling their stories at last.
"Chock full of anecdotes and bursting with more than 1000 pix that have never been seen beforeThis behind-the-scenes beauty is an absolute must have." (Library Journal) "One of the most amazing making-of-a-movie books ever." (Fangoria magazine) "You're going to need a bigger coffee table." (Rue Morgue magazine)"
Matt Taylor is a fifteenth-generation resident of Martha's Vineyard, where he lives with his wife and children. Steven Spielberg is an award-winning Hollywood movie director.
