How Not to Make a Short Film
Leah was recently intereviewed in “How Not to Make a Short Film: Secrets from a Sundance Programmer” written by Roberta Munroe.
In bookstores January 20th 2009 or buy on Amazon today!
“So how does one make a short that stands out amongst the tens of thousands of films being produced each year? Roberta Marie Munroe has many theories about this she has collected in the entertaining but bluntly honest manual How Not to Make a Short Film. The book’s format is clear and concise as Munroe moves through the stages of filmmaking in order (writing, financing, collaborating with cast and crew, editing, distribution/festival play), using examples from both her own movies and those she admires to illustrate her points. Through all, Munroe is brutally realistic about the things that can go wrong while making, marketing and distributing short films, and any reader who ignores her warnings does so at his or her peril.”
