Reviews

It reads much more like you got the chance to pick the brains of people who have been there. There are a ton of absolutely fantastic interviews from really interesting people in this book. These give you a real inside track on the entire process, each from a unique perspective. You get to feel the interviewee's triumphs and and their struggles. While all of the interviews are informative, some go the extra mile and add interesting personal stories, many of which are quite funny -- David Indish * Bricks of the Dead *


Author Information

Genevieve Jolliffe met Chris Jones at film school and the two went into independent filmmaking through their production company, Living Spirit Pictures. She directed their third film together, Urban Ghost Story, in 1998. After moving to Los Angeles, Genevieve was a major force in pulling together the US edition of The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook, and she also co-authored The Documentary Film Makers Handbook in 2006. With her husband and screenwriting partner Andrew Zinnes, she has sold projects to Warner Bros and has two indie features set to be filmed in 2010. Andrew Zinnes has worked in development at Paramount Pictures and at USA Networks. He left to become a script analyst, and worked for Morgan Creek Productions, Artisan and several script analyst companies. Using his documentary filmmaking experience, Andrew was the perfect co-author for The Documentary Film Makers Handbook. He has taught documentary at the NY Film Academy and has lectured on filmmaking at schools and colleges around the US. He is a founding partner of the film company Crazee Pictures.
