Product Description
More than just a short article, this mini eBook (64 pages online and 13,460 words) with 35 plus photos and graphics is the reference I wished I had when I first made a low-budget digital film. The primary focus of this book is how to produce a movie. And since there is more than one definition of what "Produce" means (Especially in Hollywood) what I mean here is start from scratch and get your movie completed. Whether you are 12 or 103 or somewhere inbetween, if your dream is to make a feature length film on a low budget, this tells you how to get it done.

Film Making Made Simple and on a Budget
Rating: 5 (2008-08-23)
If you work in a cubicle dreaming of making a movie that others like you actually want to see, this guy got his movies into film festivals and beyond, made a profit and he did it on extremely low budgets. He is completely honest about how such a low budget can keep a film from being accepted at a film festival and how to get past such an obstacle. With today's technology: A Mac, Final Cut Express, a a Canon XL-1, other equipment you can purchase on ebay or rent for almost nothing... With a staff that you can help by giving them the opportunity to act (something a lot of people want to get a chance at doing) while paying staff through a temp firm that handles things like workers comp, etc. ... David Curran explains, in a way that keeps your interest, step by step how to make a movie on a low budget in broadcast quality. In addition, he gives simple tips on real special effects that cost virtually nothing. Buy this rather than just dreaming. David Curran not only knows his stuff, but he cares about your dreams.
Excellent tips and an enjoyable read!
