Reviews

'Everything you ever wanted to know about the nuts-and-bolts, from idea development to screening, is here' - Quentin Falk, Academy Magazine 'Endlessly fascinating, this thorough guide to making a doc is a great read, whether you're planning on becoming the next Michael Moore or just putting on the DVD instead' - Empire Magazine 'can be enjoyably read straight through but are priceless as sources of reference - all the while funny, insightful, and realistic... They're like filmmaking courses bound and at a fraction of the cost.' - Ben Malczewski, Library Journal
