A little too long for my taste, but it covers all subjects in general in the filmmaking business. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to have a big picture of the hole filmmaking process. Excellent refrence book!, November 15, 2007 By Cristiana DiPietroI recommend this book to anyone who doesn't read in a linear sequence. I tend to skip around in books to get the info I need and the way this book is formatted, it allows me to effeciently get the answers I want without any missed beats. Stoller effectively breaks down every aspect, from pre, principal photography, budget breakdown, contracting, scouting, editing, post to distribution and much more.
