### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must-Read For Aspiring Filmmakers
*by J***K on April 7, 2021*

I'm always looking to read and learn more about the craft. This book is a must-read for people starting out and wanting to learn more about how the industry really works. This isn't a book meant for casual filmmakers looking to upload a 3 minute slo-mo reel on Youtube - this is meant for those looking to fund and create their own full-length movies in today's film industry.It's a smooth, quick read and offers useful information. It leans largely on the behind the scenes of financing and things to look out for. If you're looking for something more focused on directing actors or the writing aspects of filmmaking, I would recommend Mamet's "On Directing Film" or Lumet's "Making Movies." However, if you're looking for some real talk on how the industry works and how to get your pictures financed and made, this is the best I've read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FULL of information ANYONE who THINKS they know what it takes to make and distribute indie films!
*by R***E on July 25, 2020*

I have been working in production on films and in TV for 15 years. I've seen A LOT, I've learned A LOT, but there was more useful info in this book than I anticipated. Not just in the nuts and bolts of making a film but in the pre and post-production as well as distribution. I can't recommend this book enough to every single aspiring indie filmmaker out there. You could go and make your film without reading it, and learn all these lessons the hard way, OR you could read this book. Shane has been at this for over 30 years. Why not learn from the mistakes he made along the way and save yourself the trouble (and your investors' money) by learning from them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for new Filmmakers
*by J***R on April 7, 2021*

Great book for filmmakers. I am venturing into screenwriting myself, but this gave me some inside intel on what goes on behind the scenes of today's filmmaking.I have been on many movie sets shooting BTS for cable TV and entertainment networks, but not on the actual movie crew so many things he mentioned I could relate to as well as my experience shooting short videos, corporate and entertainment.This is great for up-and-coming filmmakers.Shane tells it like it is and does not sugarcoat reality.Learn from his mistakes as well as his many moments of success.
