Review
'Full of wisdom, insight, and practical filmmaking experience. It's really what goes on day to day in the trenches. Where was this book when I was starting out?'
Woody Allen
'A witty, practical antidote to more academic 'How To' guides. The insider info astounds, but Reilly's anecdotes are always purposeful ... His tips are simple common sense and invaluable to budding directors'
Total Film****
This is the best book on the nuts and bolts-and art-of filmmaking I've read. Tom Reilly is a consummate pro. His insightful, practical instruction and explanation will rivet anyone who cares about movies ... If this were a movie, I'd say: See it twice.'
