Interview With Author Micheal HaDera
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I grew up a massive movie and television lover. I was introduced to writing by my 7th grade language arts teacher. I instantly loved it and felt like it was the most natural form of expression. I was however not confident about my abilities and didn’t believe I could do it professionally. I decided to go to Film school in hopes of working in Hollywood. I was fortunate enough to get work right away even luckier to get a job working as an assistant to a producer on a major motion picture. That’s what inspired my first novel.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Hollywood Assistant: Life Below The Line is based on my experience working in the assistant to producer role on my first feature film. Post graduation I was blessed to get a job I was unqualified for. Instantly I was thrown into a new world completely unaware of how it operated while simultaneously trying to keep my head above water. The Hollywood Assistant: Life Below The Line takes you on an explosively revealing ride on what it’s like to work on big budget summer block buster.
