Title: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
Review: I have directed several independent features that have been screened at Sundance, Toronto, etc. Never in all my experience have I seen advice so detrimental as the type dispensed by Mr. Schmidt. For instance, "steal the film, steal the camera, and promise to pay everyone (but don't)" is the kind of guidance that damages the industry. Mr. Schmidt would like to "sit at table" with judicious independent filmmakers. Ain't gonna happen.
Is the review positive or negative?
