About This Book

This wicked satire of the Hollywood film industry chronicles the efforts of screenwriter Elmo Zwalt to get his just-completed and very good script produced. He wants to direct it, as does every director who wants to gross a $100 million domestic. When the movie is finally green-lighted, Elmo lands in the bizarre company of smooth studio executives, manipulative agents, controlling stars and desperate producers. Pay or Play perfectly lampoons La-La Land as a result of the insights of of its creator, writer-producer Jon Boorstin.
