Book Reviews of Making Movies: The Inside Guide to Independent Movie Production

Book Review: Excellant
Summary: 5 Stars

A general overview of the low budget filmmaking process loaded with pertinent information and technical advice. Areas of interest: starting your own production company and an appendix containing several sample contracts. Includes interviews with the likes of George A. Romero, Tobe Hooper, Sam Raimi, Lizzie Borden, Tom Savini and Oliver Stone. It cries out for an update(its eight years old)but its an excellant exploration into the world of filmmaking nonetheless. Worth the dough.
