Review

"entertaining confection... unafraid to be both smart and silly... intellectually satisfying yet unpretentious." (review of the film "Trifling With Fate") -- Variety, August 6, 2000

Absolutely indispensable for first timers, and sure to be inspiring for those more experienced...easy-to-read. -- New York Film & Video Monitor, December 2001

5.0 out of 5 stars A great "How To" for the beginning film maker, January 21, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Trifling With Fate: How to Make a Digital Video Feature Film (Paperback)
This is the book for those interested in making a video feature film, documentary, or short feature. It is clear, easy to follow, and full of the practical, artistic, technical, "step by step" advice that only an experienced writer director can provide. And here is the good part... it is a pleasure to read... well written, entertaining, and personal as Bergmann takes the reader through the making of his own feature, "Trifling With Fate" (screenplay included.) Bergmann does not forget his collaborators who make their own contributions to production and post-production issues often overlooked in "how to" text books. I recommend this as a "must read" to every film student as we enter into this digital era. Old hands will learn a lot, too!
