Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices Book

For the price of a used car--about $6,000--you can make a feature film if you have the right know-how. In Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices, award-winning independent filmmaker Rick Schmidt provides that know-how. He shows you:

• How to select and write a story that can be produced on a tight budget
• How to rally a filmmaking team through creative contracts
• How to shoot and edit with an original style
• Where to find markets for your finished film

This fully updated edition also contains extensive new material on:

• Useful new directing techniques
• How to deal with agents
• Making a collaborative feature
• Digital technology--and how it will affect low-budget filmmakers

With step-by-step instructions and summary checklists, and without the complicated technical details that only add to the cost, Feature Filmmaking at Used-Car Prices will support you spiritually, psychologially, factually, and technically as you take the bus and make your film.
