Exotic locations, beautiful starlets, and behind the scenes gossip - Adventures in Filmmaking is an insiders’ look at over forty years in the movie business. And it’s everything you want it to be. From sex, drugs, rock and roll in the 60’s all the way to a worldwide TV phenomenon in the ‘10s. Peter Rowe recounts an amazing life lived large. A must read for anyone fascinated by the entertainment industry.” -Jeff Willner – Fellow, Royal Geographic Society, CEO, Traveledge “There’s times I thought I was having an acid flashback (somehow Rowe remembered the sixties). Other times I almost fell off my chair laughing. Throughout I was amazed by how much he has done and the names he has worked with, both as a filmmaker and as an adventurer. To not only survive but to flourish in the uber competitive worlds of the movie and TV biz for over forty years takes talent, smarts and perseverance and he has all in abundance. He’s also completely down to earth and a helluva good writer. Thoroughly entertaining. I couldn’t put it down.” -Jason Schoonover – Author, Thai Gold, Communications Director, The Explorers Club (Canada), Bangkok/Saskatoon "Admirably detailed, reliably engaging, and filled with tales of genuine adventure. Rowe recalls a range of cinematic memories from confronting the establishment with student projects to documenting the volatility of the natural world. Most importantly, he has the intelligence to recognize that emotional turmoil and physical danger can be equally thrilling." -Josh Johnson – Director, "Rewind This!" – Austin, Texas</p>
