 Dust off that camcorder dude! June 9, 2008
Fun and easy reading book about a young man making a movie on the cheap just so he can get his first ten bad movies out of the way before making a good one. Fancy this first effort to hit it big in Hollywood! Inspiring stuff, and especially inspiring considering he never expected this el-cheapo B-rate Spanish language movie, made with volunteer actors in a border town, to amount to anything but a practice run for the Mexican video market if he was lucky. Get it, read it, write down that script you have in your head and go dust off the old camcorder and start shooting!
This book also has lots of cool hints as to how to make expensive looking scenes!
 Cracks along at a pace. May 3, 2008
Well written, full of fun and wit and most importantly a damn fine blueprint to gain inspiration from should you wish to go out and make your own movies. Best non-fictional book I've read on the making of films in a long while. Up there with Roger Corman's 'How I Made One Hundred Movies In Hollywood And Never Lost A Dime.'
 Without a Crew? February 26, 2008
This book is mostly a tale about making a particular film. It is entertaining but it lacked the nitty gritty details I was hoping for.
great book February 14, 2008
