$30 Film School by Michael W. Dean
I wrote a few weeks back that I had picked up $30 Film School by Michael W. Dean. I am 3/4 of the way through the book and loving it. It is hands down the best, most accessible book I’ve read on the subject of film-making. Not only does Dean provide everything needed to get started as an independent film-maker, he also provides a great deal of inspiration and kicks in the seat of the pants. I’ll give a deeper review when I finish it later this week, but so far, this is an exceptional book. 
Having already written and directed one short documentary, I was amazed at how similar my own experiences were to Dean’s. It has been a while since that first film for me. And, after reading this book I know what has been missing these last few years. So, I have a few smaller projects to wrap up first but then I finish the screenplay that has been lingering for the last two years. After that, I get it on film (DV).
D.I.Y. or die baby. D.I.Y. or die.
