Josh
Becker
THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO LOW-BUDGET FEATURE FILMMAKING
introduction by Bruce Campbell
Most books about film production assume that you have an idea
and a script to shoot. Most screenwriting books are geared to
how to write a script that you can sell to Hollywood (as though
the authors of these books had the slightest clue) and do not
take into consideration that you might be shooting the script
yourself, possibly with your own money.
This
book is about how to write a script properly that you can rationally
shoot, how to shoot it, how to finish it, how to sell it, and
also how to get it shown.
“There
are plenty of folks putting out filmmaking ‘theory’
books, but Josh got his know-how from over twenty-five years of
being in the filmmaking trenches. I’ve worked with him during
every phase of production—from generating the kernel of
an idea, to putting on final touches in post-production—and
he’s as committed a filmmaker as you’ll find …
As a filmmaker, he favors a well-planned, fiscally responsible
approach to telling stories. As a person, he’s encyclopedic,
bright and brutally honest. What’s not to love?”

“It’s
refreshing to have at least one book on the subject of filmmaking
that isn’t written by a failed filmmaker-turned-academic.
Forget film school. Get some friends then get this book
and make your movie.” —Ted Raimi, actor:
The Grudge, Spiderman, Xena: Warrior Princess.
