Summary:
"Takes an irreverent look behind the scenes of th music video industry during its eighties heyday. Oreck, one of the top producers of all time, bluffed her way into the business with no experience whatsoever and went on to produce more than six hundred video shoots . . . . Also shares the at-turns hilarious, biting, and poignant story of her origins as a single teen mother disowned by her middle-class parents, and of her journey from welfare to kung fu movie sets to film school." -- cover, p. [4].
