Description
By: Jon Landau
An uplifting and entertaining behind-the-scenes memoir about a life in film and the joy in solving problems with grace, kindness, and generosity, by the late film producer Jon Landau (Avatar, Titanic), written as he battled cancer and came to terms with his terminal diagnosis.
Jon Landau, the Academy Award–winning film producer behind Titanic, Avatar, Alita: Battle Angel, Dick Tracy, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids knew two things well: how to tell an unforgettable story and how to find solutions. So, when he found himself confronting his fate, a diagnosis of improbable odds, he began to problem solve, ensuring that everything he learned behind the camera would live on after he was gone.
In his retrospective and advice-driven memoir, Landau shares behind-the-scenes stories about some of the greatest movies of our time and advice on how to live well while working in a notoriously all-consuming job by centering the things that mattered to him most—his love for his family and his dedication to his friends and creative partners—turning his own story into another blockbuster hit.
The Bigger Picture is at once a deeply poignant memoir, a tribute to storytelling in its many forms, and a celebration of a life well lived, told from the third act. Imbued with Landau’s trademark compassion, humanity, and humor, the stories he shares and the wisdom he imparts in The Bigger Picture will inspire, delight, and touch the hearts of readers for years to come.
