So, you’ve got a script. Or an idea. Or a blurry dream on the back of a napkin.
Now what?
This book isn’t here to romanticise filmmaking. It’s here to help you survive it.
Whether you’re directing your first short or producing a feature with three locations and zero budget, How Not to F* Up Your Film gives you the unfiltered, practical roadmap they don’t teach you in film school.
You’ll learn:
How to get from logline to locked picture without losing your mind
What actually matters in development, prep, and production
How to build a team, lead a set, and finish like a pro
What to do when everything goes wrong (because it will)
And how to take your film to festivals, distributors, and audiences that care
Written by award-winning filmmaker Adolf El Assal, this book pulls no punches. It’s sharp, honest, and filled with the kind of advice you’d only get over late-night drinks after wrap.
If you’re serious about making a film—and not just dreaming about it—this is your field guide.
