Shooting on a Shoestring: The Hopes and Horrors of No-Budget Filmmaking (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798648262447)

A gritty and holistic guide to guerrilla film making, based on the experiences of multi-award winning indie director, Eveshka Ghost.

Acknowledging the tough and demoralising lessons that are often learned through failure, this guide takes an alternative and brutally honest approach to solving the common and rare problems of making no-budget feature-length movies.

This book covers:

• Taking control over all aspects - learning how to do everything yourself
• Techniques of how to write your own scripts within your own limits
• Making production faster in order to reduce the risk of failure
• Understanding and communicating with actors and crew on an deeper level
• A start-to-finish guide on the entire process, from concept to final master

"Making movies with little to no money has never been easier. Not only should we take advantage of this blessing, but we must realise and accept that our own techniques may differ greatly from those whom we consider 'the masters'. Eliminating the intimidation of high-budget filmmaking, and adapting to re-invent the work flow is crucial to understanding, and effectively, re-inventing the art."
