Filmmaking on a Low Budget-- a Re-e-e-e-eally Low Budget - Paperback

by Jim DeVault (Author)

Movie production doesn't have to cost millions of dollars. In fact, it doesn't have to cost thousands, either. A feature film can be produced for next to nothing. That is the entire philosophy behind this book: you can make a movie on a very limited, almost non-existent budget. Written by a filmmaker who has been in there making films for forty years, with several feature films in distribution. Not a technical book on lighting, editing, etc., his purpose, here, is not to teach you how to make a movie, rather, how to get your movie made. He offers solid advice to the prospective producer that will get them on the road to getting their movies made. It may not be an award-winning blockbuster hit, or a special effects-laden eye candy epic, but it can be completed without breaking the bank. Following the advice contained in these pages can make you will be a filmmaker.
