STOP!… And Read This Before Making Your First Film

A Real-World Guide to Making — and Selling — Your First Feature Film

Second Edition — Revised and Expanded

Most filmmaking books tell you how to hold a camera. This one tells you how to survive the business. Drawing on decades of real-world production experience, Zoltan L. Deak delivers the brutally honest, practical guidance that film schools don’t teach — from development through distribution and everything in between.
