 great reference Jul 27, 2006
By Jennifer Partin
"islandgrits"
For those with even the most remote interest in filmmaking or how it works, this is a great book to read. You can learn the basics of things behind the scenes of making your favorite movies, without necessarily having to be a filmmaker yourself.

Invaluable Dec 20, 2005
By Jim Andrews
"Wayne Brasler"
Joe Steiff is an accomplished and highly-regarded filmmaker, a respected educator, a
talented writer and much else. All his talents and experiences are put to use in this concise, practical and endlessly interesting book. Every facet of independent filmmaking is covered with clarity and excellent advice. But the book goes way beyond the basics into areas such as professionalism, ethics, teamwork and treating people with consideration. Even if you have never considered making a film you can learn a lot from this book about planning, organization, creativity and focus in any field.

Educational and fun to read. Really. Jan 04, 2007
By Cold, wet, and happy!
"Stew!"
OK. This is just a good book. Mr. Steiff, (I use "mister" because I know it makes him feel old) knows his stuff and he does a superb, (SOOPERB) job of getting that stuff across to the reader. (If you've ever read any of his movie reviews you will find this book just as entertaining.) He has a way with words he has. I'll never be a filmmaker. But I can now carry on a conversation with one. Maybe my home movies will be less boring in the future. This book ought to be required reading for all media students everywhere.

 It's OK Feb 22, 2011
By Michael Thompson
Not one of the best books its all over the place and doesn't have alot of hands on information. There are other books out there that I like more like "The Portable film school."

NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION Dec 19, 2010
By John Schneider
"jspider"
The problem I had with this book is that it simply doesn't give enough information in the book to actually make a film. I didn't pay much for it and would suggest to others to buy it used if you can find it. Amazon is a great place to get books like this one used. There is some information in it that is useful to a person just starting to discover the possibilities of shooting a film. Good book for a high school or middle school film maker.
