The Little Blue Book for Filmmakers

Originally conceived as a workbook for young directors ÊThe Little Blue Book for FilmmakersÊ has become a handbook for easy reference with all the information a student director/actor/producer needs to create a film from inception through production to sales distribution and exhibition.ÞThe book discusses issues faced by all beginning filmmakers with a historical perspective that explains problems and solutions that reach back to the invention of movies at the turn of the last century and stretch forward to include new digital technology and the popularization of videography as global self-expression. A valuable addition to the shelves of all film school instructors who've not had years of practical experience working in the trade it's also a syllabus in itself and can be the foundation for a course schedule. More important it's something every film student will want to own as a reference and guide.
