Helpful, Not Exceptional,
I was looking for a book that would give me a complete overview of the filmmaking process and define key roles to assist me in my role as an organizer of a filmmaking group. This book does provide an overview as expected and is a quick read. The discussion on film schools and benefits of formal training with a list of programs nationally and internationally will be considered a benefit to some readers. The film school online was mentioned throughout the text enough times to make me go to the website and find its course offerings.

Just scratched the surface and didn’t provide much in the way of insights. Not much more to say about this.
