Steven Spielberg and I know where the career landmines are. He navigated them. I stepped on every one. If you're in the arts, we're both worth listening to.

See You at the Premiere: Life at the Arse End of Showbiz demystifies the perceived glamour of a career in the arts by revealing the day-to-day artistic, financial and emotional struggles faced by the vast majority of creative people. The antithesis of society's vacuous fixation with showbusiness, one willingly spoon-fed across the media, the book simultaneously celebrates and questions creative passion. Fearlessly candid, unflinching, funny - yes, they're all checked off - the book is also self-critical, opinionated, and cynical.

Memoir, writing handbook, insider's guide, cultural history, self-help book and 'Making Of' See You at the Premiere: Life at the Arse End of Showbiz spans the last two decades of the 20th century and the first two of the 21st over 520 pages, unfolding in London, Los Angeles, Washington, Oxford, Edinburgh and 25 Cannes Film Festivals with a cast of characters including Richard Attenborough, Steven Spielberg, Michael Jackson, Peter Cook and Christopher Lee.

Ross Smith has written four feature films and four plays ranging from Britain's first 'wannabe' movie, Revenge of Billy the Kid, to the world's most-toured British play of 2010, One Small Step. Other work includes the 2006 film, Greyfriars Bobby, and the 2017 play, Sherlock Holmes and the Crimson Cobbles. At BBC Radio 2, he wrote and researched almost 100 programmes and conducted over 300 interviews with film personalities including Dustin Hoffman, Matthew McConaughey and Bruce Willis. His work has been translated into 19 languages. Like most freelance creative people, he has been unable to earn anywhere near a respectable living from his craft. See You at the Premiere: Life at the Arse End of Showbiz explains why.
