ICFH is celebrating today because MAKEFLIX has sold out of Colossal! AIP 1954-1958. Usually, this would concern a small publishing company like us, but we've got a second batch on its way to MAKEFLIX as I write this.

The cause for celebration is that there IS an audience for the book. In the anxiety-filled business of small publishing, you can't predict what will resonate with readers. MAKEFLIX got behind this book, as they have for all the previous ICFH books, and helped make it available to the audience it was created for! ICFH sincerely thanks MAKEFLIX for their support of our latest Colossal book!

ICFH's Hollywood Docs A.D. (After Distribution) takes a look at Muta’Ali's MoviePass, MovieCrash (2024)

Nothing is as satisfying when you are watching a doc film about the entertainment industry as when you see the former CEO of a company, in this case, the pasty-faced mug of J. Mitchell Lowe (a.k.a. Mitch Lowe), in complete denial over his actions that caused the collapse of said company. Mitch Lowe....

My Friend, Roger B. Domian.

On September 21, 2024, Roger Domian passed away. Over eight thousand people died yesterday in The United States, and Roger was one of them, but his passing deserves more than an obituary or a mere mention as a "friend" who is no longer walking among us.First things first. Roger's true love was film....

It Came From Hollywood Website Update:

Rob and I are so busy putting the ICFH books together that we often forget to update our website. This is further proof that we are all about the content of our books and less about promoting them correctly on the internet.

But since 99.999% of our sales come from this "internet," we did our first update in about a year.

You won't find any dancing glitter bears or live video feeds on the new version of the website.

You will find a clear and concise way to buy ICFH books without spending unnecessary extra dollars that some of the other retailers add to the cost of our books.

ICFH books will continue to be available everywhere, but we are strengthening our partnership with Makeflix and have added clickable direct access to buy our books at the lowest market price. Since Makeflix routinely offers deals/sales all throughout the year, it made sense to us to make everyone aware of those opportunities.
In addition, we've finally made our Tee Public store "public," so die-hard ICFH fans can help support our effort by buying some awesome T-shirt designs created exclusively for you.

As always, we thank you for your support.
Paul & Rob
