Product Description
There has been a huge resurgence in the popularity and production of Documentary Films over the past few years, and there is a new generation of film makers who want to be involved. In addition, the digital revolution has made this genre more accessible to the general film maker, and documentaries can now be shot cheaply and with high production values. "The Documentary Film Makers Handbook" features incisive interviews with dozens of industry professionals, on subjects as diverse as interview technique, the NBC News Archive, music rights, setting up your own company, pitching your proposal, camera hire, the British Film Council, editing and distribution. The book also includes in-depth case studies of some of the most successful documentary films of recent years, including "Mad Hot Ballroom", "Born into Brothels", "Touching The Void", and "Beneath The Veil and Amandla"!

Great Practical guide,

This review is from: The Documentary Film Makers Handbook: A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides) (Paperback)
In depth, on the ground, information. Particularly good advice from a great number of contributors from all stages of Pre-production, Production and Post production along with some up to date practical tips on shooting techniques, sound and even some equipment discussion. Much better than the documentary film-makers handbook- still not enought practical advice for my taste though

I made my first documentary feature over the last year and before we started production we all read this book which has so many great tips and mistakes to avoid. As with all the books in this series it has interviews with people in the industry who you can then approach with your film. Highly recommended.

So much more than another "how to" book,
By Cliff Milledge - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Documentary Film Makers Handbook: A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides) (Paperback)
Though this book has plenty of useful resources from writing to funding to filming to distributing your film, what really sets it apart from the rest are the short interviews throughout the book with people from all sections of the industry--not just directors! They generally start off with a simple question--What do you do?--and then quickly gets down to brass tacks and inside dope. It's fascinating stuff...engaging reading isn't exactly what one expects from a "handbook" but they've done it right.

A Must-Have!,
By My Two Cents - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Documentary Film Makers Handbook: A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides) (Paperback)
This book is packed with tons of useful information. We consider ourselves somewhat expererienced documentary film-makers, but it's given us a lot of valuable information we didn't alreadly know, and didn't know who to ask.

By Paul Kontonis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Documentary Film Makers Handbook: A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides): A Guerilla Guide (Guerilla Guides) (Paperback)
If you are truly interested in becoming a documentary filmmaker then this is the book for you, whether you are just starting or already well on your way. I found the interviews in the book to be the most helpful and informative. Thanks for putting together such a functional and important guide!
