Description
Backed by the resources of Independent Feature Project/West, co-authors Nicole Shay LaLoggia and Eden H. Wurmfeld have written the definitive
low-budget production manual. Using examples from the Swingers and Kissing Jessica Stein, this comprehensive manual offers the independent
filmmaker a single volume reference covering every aspect of making a film: script rights and rewrites, financing, breakdown, scheduling
and budgeting, pre-production, production, postproduction, and distribution. A resource guide listing useful references and organizations,
as well as a glossary, complete this guide. The companion CD-ROM features interviews with important figures in the independent film industry,
including Billy Bob Thornton and Ang Lee. Forms that are illuminated in the text are also included on the CD for ease of use.
The
new edition is updated with thorough coverage of digital and HD—how to decide which to shoot on, what the financial impact is, and the
effect on preproduction. There is also a new chapter on distribution and expanded material on postproduction.
Audience:
Independent filmmakers, line producers, production managers, and film students
