Long before Jade Thirlwall became an international mega star with Little Mix, she was an aspiring actress. However, she only ever made one film.

In 2007 at the age of 14 when Jade was suffering from anorexia, she was cast in a short 15-minute film called Skin written and directed by Garry Moore. In Garry’s exclusive memoir, discover how Jade and Garry came to make the film with behind-the-scenes insights from Garry and some of the other cast and crew, revealing how they met and funny moments on set never before revealed to the public.

In this fascinating memoir Moore brings to life his experience of trying to break into the cut throat film industry whilst raising three daughters as a single parent. Trying for years to sell his scripts and ideas, teetering on the brink of success with industry producers, encountering cronyism, unscrupulous execs and suffering many rejections.

He also exclusively reveals his shocking encounters with a well-known actor and filmmaker who was accused of sexual harassment of many women in the film industry. In this revised edition, read how Moore’s book deal for this story with a seemingly reputable publisher, was curiously cancelled weeks after the book’s publication on the grounds of contravening his contract.

But were there other players manipulating the field? Draw your own conclusions from the book you can’t put down. .
