From the Publisher
The most useful book you'll ever buy!
If you're interested in making a low-budget movie, and you want one book that tells you EVERYTHING you need to know, then this is the one. Just check out these quotes:

'Absolutely indispensable. This book should be within arm's reach throughout the entire film making process.' Dan Myrick, Director, The Blair Witch Project.

'It's the one book on my shelf that I wouldn't roach.' Justin Kerrigan, Director, Human Traffic.

'I wish I had this book when I started out, it would have saved me three years!' David Nicholas Wilkinson, Independent Distributor.

'A revelatory read which will inform and inspire in equal measure.' Empire Magazine.

This massive new edition is packed with advice, tips, interviews, case studies and photos. It has a yellow pages directory at the back, and now comes with a free CD-ROM that will help you with legal documents, contracts and forms.

This book is, simply, brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars tHE BEST NUTS AND BOLTS GUIDE TO FILM MAKING AVAILABLE., 13 Sep 2000
Anyone even considering making a feature film or short film should read this book before going any further.

Brutaly honest, informative and at times funny, this book gives you a blow by blow account of how to take that initial spark of an idea all the way through to the premiere screening.

It dispenses with overly wordy industry speak and gives plain English advice that is indespensible to the low and medium budget film maker. Come to think of it there's probably a few big budget film makers who should take notice of a few of the writers pearls of wisdom(e.g. Putting aside a little money to spend on treating the crew with beer and chocolate at the end of a long day). It's also very frank about the realities of film making including, in one chapter, discussing the painfull facts about insolvency and bankruptcy. Something that is all too often the end to many low budget film makers dreams of celluloid success.

Because this book is writen by people who have made the mistakes and are not afraid to admit it this makes it worth it's weight in gold to anyone considering following in their footsteps.

Rather than being a series of lectures by the writers on the various areas of production this book, for the large part, uses interviews with industry specialist as their tool to illuminate the reader. They ask all the right questions including getting their subjects to translate technical jargon into laymans terms whenever it looks like things are getting too confusing.

I've worked in the film industry for 15 years and this book still opened my eyes to a lot of aspects of the movie making process I wasn't fully aware of.

In a word "brilliant!"

5.0 out of 5 stars It Just Keeps Getting Better, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
An excellent guide to independent no-budget film making. I carry my copy round with me! It's one of those books you just keep going back to time and time again.

One of it's best features are the case studies, and attention paid to selling and marketing a film once it's finished - an oft neglected subject, and one which can mean the difference between your film being released and gathering dust on a shelf!

I'm looking forward to the Digital Video update!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, 23 Jan 2001
By A Customer
Being entirely new to film-making, I really needed a book that would sit me down and tell me everything I needed to know. Though not a tutorial on the technical and creative aspects of film-making, it makes you aware of the issues involved in the complete life cycle of film-making and offers sound advice on how to deal with them.

There are also facinating insights into prominent British film-makers: their successes and their failures. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in films or film-making.
