Bangkok Jungle

Mark this date in your diary as Jim Newport launches his latest work of art – TINSEL TOWN: Another Rotten Day In Paradise - Bangkok on Thursday Nov. 26 at Temples Bar – Sukhumvit, Soi. 11 (Citadines) 7:00-9:00 PM. This book is destined to be another classic in the genre and a Hollywood novel by an author who has been there – done that. Jim Newport is an Emmy-nominated production designer of both film and television. His credits include Bangkok Dangerous, Brokedown Palace, The Shield, and LOST. His experiences in the early years of this career served as the inspiration for TINSEL TOWN.

TINSEL TOWN doesn’t gloss over the cracks in the scenery, the grit, the stench, the plain old fashioned blood and sweat that making movies is really about. It gives the reader a glimpse into what it was like to enter this privileged arena in, arguably, its most exciting time. – the wild & woolly EASY RIDER days of independent filmmaking. A non-stop party.

Sex, drugs & movies.

“Newport’s novels succeed in their purpose … they entertain.”
