A resource guide listing useful references and organizations, as well as a glossary, complete this guide.

Forms that are illuminated in the text are also included on the CD for ease of use.

There is also a new chapter on distribution and expanded material on postproduction.

With it's Resource Guide appendix, glossary, and index, the Independent Filmmaker's Manual is a complete and comprehensive "how to" instructional text and a highly recommended addition to film school reference collections and aspiring independent film producer reading lists.
I love the BOOK. However, the CD bound into the book DOES NOT contain content for this book. Apparently the publisher got a bunch of discs labelled for this book but with some kind of astronomy software content. YIKES!!!! I hate to return the book in order to get another (probably wrong) disc but I will try it once. Major publisher screwup for an otherwise fantastic resource.
This book is a text book for an upcoming class I am taking. I have read most f it already, and I find it to be VERY informative. I have been in the film industry for almost 10 years now and I am impressed to see how much information is in this manual.They have pictures of a lot of the forms, contracts and legal documents you will need to get stuff done. You can easily emulate them on Microsoft Word. The only thing that would make this book better would be to include photocopyable versions of these documents.The producers who wrote this book produced SWINGERS and KISSING JESSICA STEIN. If you haven't seen them recently or ever, I suggest you pick them up as supplemental material.
This was my textbook for a film production class I took at UCLA. It has so much information and is essential for anyone looking to produce their on films. It takes you through every step of the process.
