This is the story of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

You can read along with me in your book.

You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the bullwip crack like this.

Let's begin now.

The Hey folks, welcome to a special episode of the projection booth. I'm your host Mike White. On this episode, I am talking with producer Howard Kazanjian, all about his book, Howard Kazanjian, a producer's life.

We talk a little bit about how he got into the business, what it was like working on the Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, a little Return of the Jedi, Demolition Man, working with Alfred Hitchcock.

This is one hour worth of stories that you're going to hear. Howard's book is chock full of them.

Fantastic book. Written by our old friend J.W. Rinsler. Rest in peace. I've been after Howard for quite a few years and was glad that we

finally got to sit down and have a good conversation. Thanks so much for listening and I hope

you enjoy the interview. Why now or 2021 when it came out? What prompted you to do this with Mr. Rinsler?

For years, my peers have been telling me, Howard, you've worked with Hiscount, you've worked

with this person, and that person, you've got to write a book, you've got to write a book.

And Randall Kleiser was the pushiest.

He was the one that just every time we'd see, when are you writing that book?

And he has written now a couple books. And over the years, I've been keeping call sheets, production reports, records,

copies of interviews, making notes. I hate to admit it, but about 23 boxes of notes and whatnot, and pictures and things like that.

And so I put it all together, but I couldn't put it together.

I couldn't write about myself.

I co-write some other books, but I couldn't do it about myself.

I met Rinsler through another friend, Brendan Allinger,

and I actually met him in Comic-Connor, I think, and he had written three or four, five

Star Wars, Lucasfilm, beautiful novels, books, and he said, I'd love to take this on. I want to do it.
