Wickedly funny, insightful, often absurd but always true, Clinging to the Iceberg explores the inner workings of the business of writing for hire. It's written by someone whose career has spanned over forty years on stage and on screen, including thirty lucrative and sometimes uproarious ones in Hollywood. Genuinely laugh-out-loud, it will astound and inspire and along the way reveal the REAL tricks of the dialogue writers' trade. Hutchinson grew up in a remote area of Ireland, without running water, until he moved to Coventry. He started his career equipped with stories from his upbringing and family. Clinging to the Iceberg takes us through his successful career via hilarious anecdotes including a near-death experience on Venice Beach, being paid by Dreamworks to not actually work for them, and struggling to stay sane on location on one of the great movie flops of all time.
Ron Hutchinson is an Emmy-Award winning screenwriter and Olivier nominated playwright, who has taught at the American Film Institute, been a Writer in Residence for the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and worked with some of the biggest names in the Hollywood, including Marlon Brando, Samuel L Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor.
