Phantasm's Don Coscarelli to Release Memoir

Don Coscarelli, the creator, writer, director, and producer of the Phantasm film franchise has finished his tell-all book based on his life's work. Pre-orders are live for this upcoming memoir titled True Indie: Life & Death in Film Making.

Based on just that description alone, I'm sold! True Indie is set to release on October 2nd, 2018 and will be available as a physical hardcover for $30 or digitally for $15 USD. I'll be honest, while I'm not usually much of a reader, this book seems very interesting. At 320 total pages, it seems to be chock full of both entertaining stories as well as cautionary tales, tricks, and tips for aspiring filmmakers. Besides, everyone likes a good underdog story.
