Shooting is a double barreled thriller. On the one hand, the fictional world of a major motion picture; on the other, the all-too-real real story of its troubled film shoot. At stake on the screen: a young eco-warrior fighting back against callous men and narrow-mindedness on her college campus. At stake on-set: the murder of a lead actress and a chaotic multi-week shoot featuring Miami as its main character. But beyond the pastel-hued high-rises of South Beach, Shooting is about the exposure of Johnny Lebon-mixed-race screenwriter unwillingly thrust into the director’s chair, forced to take on a Hollywood production whose scale overwhelms him. Grueling days of filming mingle with moments of intense sensuality, mysteriously tattooed skin, and geo-political intrigue involving Fidel Castro. For readers of previous Johnny Lebon adventures, this is another journey into an unknown world-that of the film set-as well as an opportunity to cross paths with old friends from earlier trips to the island of Eleuthera… a must read! Pierre Santamaria Film producer and screenwriter Jean-Louis Uzan has worked around world with a number of acclaimed filmmakers. Following Johnny Lebon books Cherchez la femme and Dark Paradise, Shooting is his third novel.
