Publisher's Synopsis

Ken Kwapis has worked for more than thirty years in Hollywood. With time has come experience, and with experience he has charted a career full of hits, from 'The Office' to 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants', and become one of the most reliable and sought after directors in show business. He didn't start there. He struggled just like everyone else. Using his experience and inside knowledge of the business, 'But What I Really Want to Do is Direct' is Ken Kwapis' take on William Goldman's classic 'Adventures in the Screen Trade', but from the director's point of view. The book tackles common Hollywood myths through Ken's lively and highly entertaining experiences. It's a rollercoaster ride through the entertainment business fueled by battles over budgets, temperamental actors, and the passion that makes it all worthwhile.
