F*uck Cancer: My Story-Blowups with Bryan Adams, Breakouts in Production, and Battles with Cancer

A wild and crazy work and life story unlike anything you've ever read-until cancer fucked everything up

Jonathan Schwartz, a punk rock kid, cut his teeth in the entertainment in New York's legendary Bowery and beyond. He spent nearly three decades as managing director of Washington Square Films and became a devoted husband and father of two. Things took a devastating turn when he discovered from a dental visit that he had Stage 4 lymphoma only two days after his mother unexpectedly passed away.

In F*ck Cancer, Jonathan shares hilarious stories about his unconventional past amidst the classic punk rock scene and family life intertwined with his experiences collaborating with some of the world's top creative talent-including legend comic filmmaker Tom Schiller, creative director Gerry Graf at Slap Global, and the Martin Agency-and then comes cancer. Read about how Jonathan...
