Mark and Jay Duplass or as they are known The Duplass Brothers, were at a book signing for their new book, Like Brothers, and gave an awesome talk about how they got started, playing the Hollywood game and making up your own rules.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you know that the Duplass Brothers are the reason why I got off my ass and made my first feature film This is Meg. Their \u201cjust go out and do it\u201d attitude inspired me to go and do it. The further inspired me to make my latest film On the Corner of Ego and Desire. If you haven\u2019t seen their  short film, This is John, that got into Sundance and launched their careers take a look:<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a bit on their new book Like Brothers:<\/p>\n<p>How do you work with someone you love without killing each other? Whether producing, writing, directing, or acting, the Duplass Brothers have made their mark in the world of independent film and television on the strength of their quirky and empathetic approach to storytelling. Now, for the first time, Mark and Jay take readers on a tour of their lifelong personal and professional partnership in LIKE BROTHERS, a unique memoir told in essays that share the secrets of their success, the joys and frustrations of intimate collaboration, and the lessons they\u2019ve learned the hard way.<\/p>\n<p>Part coming-of-age memoir, part underdog story, and part insider account of succeeding in Hollywood on their own terms, LIKE BROTHERS, is also a surprisingly practical roadmap to a rewarding creative partnership. From a childhood spent wielding an oversized home video camera in the suburbs of New Orleans to their shared years at the University of Texas in early \u201890s Austin, and from the breakthrough short they made on a  budget to the night their feature film Baghead became the center of a Sundance bidding war, Mark and Jay tell the story of a bond that\u2019s resilient, affectionate, mutually empowering, and only mildly dysfunctional. They are brutally honest about how their closeness sabotaged their youthful romantic relationships, about the jealousy each felt when the other stole the spotlight as an actor (Mark in The League, Jay in Transparent), and about the challenges they faced on the set of their beloved HBO series, Togetherness\u2014namely, too much togetherness.<\/p>\n<p>From their obsession with people-watching at airports to their always-evolving \u201ctop 10 films of all-time\u201d list to their personal email conversations to their defense of Air Supply, LIKE BROTHERS is as openhearted and lovably offbeat as Mark and Jay themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend any and all filmmakers and screenwriters read this book. <\/p>\n<p>I had the pleasure the other night to see two of my inspirations speak on stage. Mark and Jay Duplass or as they are known The Duplass Brothers, were at a book signing for their new book, Like Brothers, and gave an awesome talk about how they got started, playing the Hollywood game and making\u200b up your own rules.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you know that the Duplass Brothers are the reason why I got off my ass and made my first feature film This is Meg.
