博客來A wild and crazy work and life story unlike anything you’ve ever read-until cancer fucked everything up
Jonathan Schwartz, a punk rock kid, cut his teeth in the entertainment in New York’s legendary Bowery and beyond. He spent nearly three decades as managing director of Washington Square Films and became a devoted husband and father of two. Things took a devastating turn when he discovered from a dental visit that he had Stage 4 lymphoma only two days after his mother unexpectedly passed away.
In F*ck Cancer, Jonathan shares hilarious stories about his unconventional past amidst the classic punk rock scene and family life intertwined with his experiences collaborating with some of the world’s top creative talent-including legend comic filmmaker Tom Schiller, creative director Gerry Graf at Slap Global, and the Martin Agency-and then comes cancer. Read about how Jonathan...
-Got so pissed off at Bryan Adams that they ended up in an altercation.
-Produced years’ worth of successful videos for Apple during the Steve Jobs era at the height of the recession.
-Ended up playing a video game camera man in a commercial with A’s MoneyBall players Barry Zito, Eric Chavez, and Scott Hatteberg.
-Faced a bombardment of successive health issues, including Stage 4 lymphoma and brain cancer.
F*ck Cancer is an edgy, one-of-kind work that proves anyone’s life can get fucked up at any time.
A portion of the proceeds of F*ck Cancer will be donated to Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK).
