On July 3rd 1970, Gary Graver stepped into a phone booth in Los Angeles and placed a call to the Beverly Hills Hotel.

He wanted to speak to Orson Welles.

It was a moment of bravado that changed Graver’s life forever – and when he succumbed to cancer in November 2006, every obituary led with his Welles partnership.

Granted, Graver’s work with Welles deserves the spotlight, but it’s in danger of casting a shadow over a spectacular career in the film business.

That’s where “WE MUST SHOOT!” THE LIFE AND ART OF GARY GRAVER comes in. The first section of the book details Graver’s life from the people who knew him, while the second part contains an in depth analysis of over eighty of the films he directed.

Written by The Schlock Pit twosome of Matty Budrewicz and Dave Wain, in collaboration with the prolific Andrew J. Rausch, this ode to one of cinema’s most unheralded workhorses is available now via Amazon U.K. and Amazon U.S.
