Review
'An easily assimilated, fact packed tutorial with all the dynamism and panache of a contemporary novel.' Mike von Joel in 'State' 'A riveting read, packed with rare anecdotes and expertly chosen examples from across the film world. And by weaving throughout tales from the likes of Cocteau, Bunuel or Fellini, Clifford Thurlow provides a refreshing and much needed focus on the artistic and creative - as well as the technical - aspects of filmmaking.' Nic Wistreich, development director of Shooting People and co-author of Get Your Film Funded 'Nobody should think about making a short film without reading this first. Thurlow takes new filmmakers through the steps of shooting film in a way that will save time and money. Plus it's a good read!' Producer Jennifer Fate Velaise, Fate Productions, Los Angeles 'Clifford Thurlow's book is the definitive must have for any filmmaker contemplating making and marketing a short.' Elliot Grove, Director of Raindance: The Voice of Indepe

Definitive Guide,
By
This review is from: Making Short Films: The Complete Guide from Script to Screen (Paperback)
There are tons of books about making feature films, but most people start of with a short and this definitive book is for them. From the clever guide to writing short scripts to screening shorts on TV and at festivals, the writer takes new filmmakers by the hand and leads them every step of the way. At the connected website I found lists of festivals and short film festivals, and Thurlow writes honestly about the problems and pleasures he had directing a short film according to his own theories. The book is witty, entertaining and informative. And that's what we're looking for.

Mapping No Man's Land,
By Milly (Kent) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Short Films: The Complete Guide from Script to Screen (Paperback)
Anyone setting out on the epic journey across the terrifying no man's land of their first short film would be well advised to take a copy of this handy guide as a map to guide you on your way. From penning your masterpiece to getting shorts screened at festivals, every tip you will ever need is contained in one volume. With "A Writer's Journey" and "Adventures in the Screen Trade", "Making Short Films" completes the trilogy of "must have" books for the filmmaker.

Indispensible,
By
This review is from: Making Short Films: The Complete Guide from Script to Screen (Paperback)
At last, a book that does exactly what it says on the tin! In this lucid and concise book Clifford Thurlow maps out the entire film-making process, from the very beginnings of script-writing all the way through to post-production. So, clear a space on your bookshelf between McKee's 'Story' and Vogler's 'A Writer's Journey' and complete your triumvirate of film-making handbooks. A must-buy!
