ABOUT RIMA GREER:
Rima Greer began agenting in 1984 and built her client list, selling such projects as "Memphis Belle", "Highlander", "Backdraft" and "Milk Money". She was President of Literary at Writers & Artists Agency from 1989 to 1994, when she started her own company, Above the Line Agency, established in September 1994.

At Above the Line Agency, Rima has been involved in studio projects like "Charlie's Angels" (Columbia) and "Constantine" (Warner Bros.), and the upcoming "Nowhereland" (Paramount), as well as shepherded such independent projects as "The Prophecy" (Dimension/First Look), "Slow Burn" (Artisan) and "The Poker House" (Cannell Studios). Rima has negotiated thousands of deals, and many of her clients have been with her for over 20 years.


ABOUT THE BOOK:
The Real, Low Down, Dirty Truth About Hollywood Agenting by Rima Greer. $14.95, 244 pages. For the very first time, a Hollywood film agent has opened up her phone sheet and crackberry to give us a peek behind the Wizard's curtain into the world of agents, writers, directors and producers, and studios. In this book you'll find everything you always wanted to know about the, real, honest-to-not-so-goodness day-to-day inner workings of Hollywood. Not the glamorous Oscar-winning-Spielberg-Red-Carpet Hollywood. This is a fresh tell-all translation from Hollywood-speak to plain English, into a culture that's rarely captured without cliché and hyperbole.
