1.0 out of 5 stars Information gleaned not worth the annoying banter, March 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Hollywood on $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000 a Day: A Survival Guide for Low-Budget Filmmakers (Paperback)
Sure, this book has some helpful hints and ideas, but it has got to be the most difficult book to read of any on the subject. The bulk of the book consists of parenthetical, smart ass digressions. Of 149 pages total, the book is 83 pages short and the other 66 pages are appendices of other books to read as well as films to see. They never do break down a "micro budget film" into $5000, $10000, or $25000 a day as their title suggests they will. My suggestion is to buy any other book on the subject (maybe even one they recommend in their appendix).
