Catherine Hardwicke trained as an architect at the University of Texas and started in film as a production designer. She designed over 20 films, including Tombstone, Tank Girl, Three Kings, and Vanilla Sky. Hardwicke's debut as a feature film co-writer and director was the Sundance award-winning Thirteen. Made for under two million dollars, it garnered an Academy Award nomination for Holly Hunter. She has since directed Lords of Dogtown, The Nativity Story, and most recently, Twilight. She lives in Venice Beach, California, with Jamie Marshall and her cat, The Black Velvet Luxury Item.

January 03, 2010: This book was amazing because it not only showed what it would be like to be on the set but it also told you cool little facts like that kristen was a minor so she couldnt film that much which means she probably wouldve been in more shots if she had been a year older. This book is definitly for die-hard Twilight fans like me and anyone thats interested in the movie making process, directing, or any movie jobs. Its so good that you dont need to be a twilight fan to read it but it might be helpful to see the movie before reading this book.
I Also Recommend: The Vampire Diaries #1-2, New Moon, Eclipse, The Twilight Saga Collection, Breaking Dawn.

December 27, 2009: I did not like the movie of Twilight very much, but I loved this book. This is Catherine Hardwicke's journal of how she made the movie. It tells you about the special effects in the movie, how they designed the costumes, and more. I loved this book.
