Review:
"This how-to book provides you with beneficial information, even if you aren't looking to make professional films or videos. The book breaks down the entire process. The authors have created an indespensable tool for any producer, regardless of experience level." - Videomaker Magazine, May 2001
"A thoughtful and comprehensive guide to all aspects of making a short film. I wish a practical, nuts-and-bolts guide like this had existed when I was a film student."-Susan Seidelman, director, Desperately Seeking Susan, Smithereens, and Sex in the City
"A veritable bible, valuable for both the short and feature filmmaker. It's as good as a year in most film schools."-Jon Davison, producer, Airplane, Robocop, and Starship Troopers
"Without question, the definitive book on the film production. A long-awaited, necessary map to the young filmmaker in his journey through the mine fields of movie making. I would keep it next to the viewfinder."-Michael Pressman, film director, producer of The Practice, Chicago Hope, and Picket Fences
"This volume will easily become an indispensable source book for both students and practicing filmmakers. The wealth of information on all aspects of film production is truly impressive. The quoted filmmakers' notes and the practical examples of their production problems illustrate very well the ideas and recommendations of this book."-Kris Malkiewicz, film professor, California Institute of the Arts, author of Cinematography
