If you feel like you have a basic grasp on filmmaking, and have been using equipment better than a Sony Handicam, do yourself a favor and skip this book.

Michael Dean does love himself. That much is true. In order to put togehter a book like this, you might. He describes some of the basics and kind of provides a lot of narratives about how he made some films. Good basic introduction to the process of making films, but don't consider it the beginning and end of the process.

I have lived in major cities only for minor part of my life; most of my experience is of the countryside. This may colour my perceptions, not having been exposed to the cruel realities of the kind of society that Dean is writing about.

Then again if you are in the target demographic, you will be enthusiastic about how the book describes your life and fits everything.
Michael Dean makes me think. I always like that in an author. I don't always agree with him. He agrees that that is permissible. Not bad, overall.… (altro)
