You don't have to go to film school to make movies, and What They Don't Teach You at Film School offers you 161 practical strategies to make your movies no matter what. A lot cheaper than a year's tuition, this book has solutions for surviving both the large and small crises of filmmaking.

Film-school veterans Camille Landau and Tiare White draw from their experiences and those of other filmmakers to show you how to make a film on your terms, no matter who or what is standing in your way. Filled with pointed anecdotes, warm humor, and healthy common sense, sections include: * Take story meetings with eight year olds * Shyness won't get you the donuts * Duct tape miracles * Inventing celebrity * Ten answers to "Are you done yet?" * Don't fall in love with the cast or crew (but if you do...).Landau, Camille is the author of 'What They Don't Teach You at Film School 161 Strategies to Making Your Own Movie No Matter What', published 2000 under ISBN 9780786884773 and ISBN 0786884770.
