Michael Darwin had sworn he'd sell his soul to the devil for the money to make his film, "Hollywood Is Murder," a lurid tale of a serial killer loose in Lotus Land. Imagine his surprise when an angel shows up—a financial backer named Charles S. Burns, who was willing to finance the project—if Darwin signed over a huge insurance policy to him; just in case.

It almost turns into A SERBIAN FILM, but then it doesn't. However, it does provide a lot of information about the film financing business. Helpful!

A shitty mix between a toothless Hollywood satire and an utterly conventional serial killer story. And it doesn't even have the courage of it's convictions to go anywhere near the darkness and controversy it claims to be so interested in. But if you want pages and pages detailing the process of funding a movie, this is the book for you!
