Reviews
"This how-to book provides you with beneficial information, even if you aren't looking to make professional films or videos. The book
breaks down the entire process. The authors have created an indispensable tool for any producer, regardless of experience level." -Videomaker
Magazine, May 2001
"A thoughtful and comprehensive guide to all aspects of making a short film. I wish a practical, nuts-and-bolts guide
like this had existed when I was a film student." -Susan Seidelman, director, Desperately Seeking Susan, Smithereens, and Sex in The
City
"A veritable bible, valuable for both the short and feature filmmaker. It's as good as a year in most film schools." -Joan Davison,
producer: Airplane, Robocop, and Starship Troopers.
"Without question, the definitive book on the film production. A long-awaited, necessary
map to the young filmmaker in his journey though the mine fields of movie making. I would keep it next to the viewfinder." -Michael
Pressman, film director, producer of The Practice, Chicago Hope, and Picket Fences
*This volume will easily become an indispensable
source book for both students and practicing filmmakers. The wealth of information on all aspects of film production is truly impressive.
The quoted filmmakers? notes and the practical examples of their production problems illustrate very well the ideas and recommendations
of this book." -Kris Malkiewicz, film professor, California Institute of the Arts, author of Cinematography
"If you've been perusing
bookstores for the ultimate comprehensive guide to making short films, look no further. Although Producing and Directing the Short Film
and Video was obviously written as a textbook, it's an easy, enjoyable read...Without getting hopelessly bogged in minutiae, the book
hits on nitty-gritty details likely to vex most short-film makers, and it's packed with practical information, including a bulleted list
of key points at the end of each chapter...The concise information in this book is relevant to anyone of any experience or budget level
making a film or video of any length." - Back Stage, Sept. 14 ,2006
"This is the definitive book on the subject for beginning filmmakers
and students. It clearly illustrates all of the steps involved in preproduction, production, post-production and distribution. Its unique
two-fold approach looks at filmmaking from the perspectives of both producer and director..." - SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, July/August
2006
"With such a full palette of information, we weren't surprised that the authors also painted a pathway to making a successful product.
From financing and budgeting, to hiring a crew, looking for locations and working with others, this book expands beyond the nuts and
bolts of picking up a camera and shooting, although there are plenty of technical tips as well." -Camcorder and Computer Video
