Just Discovered She Mentioned Auditioning For My Film. I Actually Describe Her Audition In My Book.

Thanks, John, For Your Most Excellent Amazon Review Of "How NOT To Make A Movie: An Independent Filmmaker In Hollywood Hell."

Now Available At McFarland Books & On Amazon. Part memoir, part primer, part cautionary tale, "How NOT To Make A Movie..." is the story of Carey's 12-year odyssey through the Hollywood film business before culminating in the production of a movie starring Alicia Silverstone. Humorous and confessional, it illustrates why it takes a minor miracle to get a film made and a cabinet of liquor, ludes, and Pepto-Bismol. There’s nothing quite like this book for aspiring filmmakers.

A 2-act play about the fraught relationship between a parent and transgender child cast against political, social, and religious events.

A Screwball Comedy With Substance.
