Fifteen years ago, making a feature film meant spending a minimum of $20,000 and three to five years from start to finish. With the advent of digital cameras, no longer must a filmmaker invest a small fortune into film. Did you know you can make a great feature film in four months and with less than $2,000? In The Independent Filmmaker’s Guide (Limelight Editions, $14.99), award-winning filmmaker Glenn Berggoetz explains exactly how to pull it off.
This book debunks myths such as you should only write a few pages of the script each day, you need to hit up friends and family for funding, you can’t cast yourself in the film, you have to get a permit to film on location, storyboarding is a must, and filmmaking is a great way to hook up with babes.
Berggoetz’s advice ranges from “Make sure you always let everyone on your slate audition before offering anyone a role. The best person for the role might be the first person to audition, but also might be the very last person to audition,” to “Here are some tips for making sure you have the money you need to make your films. First, if you’re not married, don’t get married. If you are married, don’t take on any extra lovers. Spouses and lovers cost money to keep happy, so keep them to an absolute minimum.” With witty, easy-to-read writing, this guidebook is more fun than any filmmaking book you’ve ever thought about picking up!
