Title: How to lose friends and alienate people
Review: Not the best book on making your own film. I was largely very disappointed. I dont know which books the "rave" reveiewers were reading but when I bought this book I thought I must have got a different book with the same title. Interesting in places but I learnt more from reading 1 edition of Moviemaker magazine. The free CD is full of strange files, that whilst probably very interesting to the author, prove to be quite pointless. My advice to anyone really interested in learning the art of movie making the quick way is firstly get a subscription to Moviemaker magazine. For less than $30 you get up to date, useful info. and a free copy of Moviemakers own, "Guide to making your own Film". Then look for the only other books I could recommend, "Rebel Without a Crew" and "Roadracers" both by Robert Rodriguez. Also buy "El Mariach" on DVD and check out the 10 minute film school which comes as an extra. Avoid this book.
