To make a movie is much more about your philosophy around getting things done, than it is about your level of skill, knowledge, money or time. If you have ever thought about making a movie, or you want to make your first movie, Making a Low-Budget Movie will take you through the process of how without formal education you can think about what filmmaking is, its basic elements, and go from concept to distributing a film in within a year, or less. The author shares insight on what to prepare for when you decide to make a movie, how to pull the trigger with your imperfect ideas, and why your mindset is the most important factor in finishing your project successfully.Structured in three sections, before, during and after, the book explores the meaning of film, ways to think about how to come up with ideas for stories, and what to tell yourself once you have left the dock.A book to consult when you are stuck with ideas and don't know where to begin, the idea for this book was to demystify the actual process of making a movie in today's world, and hopefully remind ourselves that it can be much more than talking heads, blows and fx; ultimately, one fascinating way for anyone to explore the human experience.
