4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource for Documentarians, September 5, 2000
By Arun K. Das (NYC, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although this book is geared toward professional, experienced filmmakers, film students or aspiring documentarians will learn from this text, as well. The book has thoughtful details, descriptive paragraphs, and helpful advice on how to create effective "ethnographic films." But despite this focus, the book's guidelines can be applied to any kind of documentary project. It's also simply a good read.
