This book does a great job in showing the kind of thinking and problem-solving film production requires. After so many years of guiding students through this process, Charles knows how to break it all down. He highlights what's important and then shows examples to support each point. The information here not only addresses making short films, but gives solid advice that would be useful in all filmmaking and project development. -Georgia Kacandes, Executive Producer of The Hateful Eight, The Wolf of Wall Street and Hugo An excellent guide to a complicated and detailed process.
