(1888PressRelease)
April 15, 2008 - Hold on to your hats. Get ready for some dynamite on-the-set stories and some remarkable behind-the-scenes photographs as you grow up through the eyes of Stephen Lodge – a true adventurer and cowboy – on and off the set. Roll the camera! Clap the slate! Get ready for Lodge’s brand new book: “And Action!”
You might say Stephen Lodge was born on the set. At least his initial interest in movies, especially Westerns, began when his father brought home the family’s first television set. From that point forward, Steve’s love for everything Western was unstoppable. He dressed like a cowboy. He collected autographed photos of the Western Stars. He read anything and everything Western he could get his hands on. Although he may have started his life like most other kids in the 1950s, he began to realize all too quickly that with an aunt and uncle in the movie business he had an opportunity of a lifetime within his grasp. So, with his younger brother, Bobby, Steve set off on a true adventure; a stimulating journey that found him on both sides of the camera.
After many years, author-screenwriter, Stephen Lodge has finally brought to paper his experiences in front of and behind the camera in this compilation of stories and photographs depicting the early days of his life. From a short-lived acting start to messenger for Columbia Pictures, to stuntman, screenwriter, costume work and more. Steve promises by the end a whole new appreciation for the Hollywood movie business and a love for the people in it. This book is now available through Lulu.com; plus the author’s web site: www.stephenlodge.com
