The best-selling low-budget filmmaker's bible in the UK has now, at long last, been totally revamped for the American market. The two authors have interviewed hundreds of film industry insiders, resulting in, without doubt, the most comprehensive, entertaining, information-packed book available in America on how to produce a low-budget movie.
The book has 3 main sections: Anatomy of a Movie, Case Studies, and The Toolkit. Anatomy of a Movie features in-depth, candid interviews with a huge cast of people already working in the film industry - from script readers to bank managers; from casting directors to costume providers; and from sound mixers to negative cutters. Case Studies tells the stories of a selection of low-budget movies, and how they were made. These include Chris and Genevieve's own films, as well as international successes like The Blair Witch Project and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The Toolkit is an amazing resource for new filmmakers, incorporating a huge range of sample legal contracts and agreements, as well as templates for production forms like locations checklists, shooting schedules, and call sheets.

I skimmed it for some pretty useful info. Not much about guerilla tactics though.

So far I have found this book to be very enlightening. I'm thinking of it more of a "reference as needed" book and not a solid read on how to make a movie.

The definitive text on how to make films on a low budget. I've just ordered this one for the HND course I'm teaching. Magnificent

Didn't read all of it, but goes through the entire production process, covering every aspect of making a movie. I'll probably refer back to it when I have a big project to work on.
