'Passionately written and entertaining to read, this is
a brilliant how-to book that makes you want to start
plotting your movie straight away.'
Lucy Brown, The
Stage Newspaper
'No matter how long you spend making
low-budget films, you can always learn more. As such,
whether you're new to filmmaking or have been doing it
for awhile, this book is a must own for your collection.
Some of the advice in this book actually changed a few
things I was considering for our upcoming Depleted
feature franchise.'
Jeremy Hanke,
MicroFilmmaker Magazine
 The
great strength of the Guerilla books across the board is
to give you all the information you want, all the
information you need and then a whole load of truly
vital information you had no idea you needed, wanted or
could even ask about.
MrOPLewington
If
you are serious about making a film (feature or short)
then I urge you to check this book out. Full of great
advice, tips, and interviews for all film makers of all
levels, Experienced or Beginner. And due it being a
pocketbook means I will take it everywhere I go, for
advice and inspiration.
M. A. Rawlings
Other
reviews have touched on how much content is jammed in to
this 320 powder keg of tips, advice, case studies &
interviews. They are correct. It is amazing just how
much is in here, with every element of filmmaking
included incorporating support for the zero budget first
time filmmaker, up to the more experienced crews with a
budget that have to take a whole range of scary legal &
technical considerations into account. Although this
book takes that fear away. It is also genuinely pocket
sized and will be able to be on hand whenever & wherever
you may need it. Its beautifully designed & has a great
feel to it. Its made to be read.... not sit on your
shelf.

Size
matters, this pocket sized filmmaking bible really is
the bees knees and worth 100 times it's (solid but
light) weight in value! I love it and I'm really
delighted to own, and recommend it.
Leilani
Jam
packed full of first rate advice from industry
professionals. This is an essential read for anyone
venturing into the world of film-making or indeed for
seasoned pros who want to expand their knowledge. Set
out in a way that keeps it fun and engaging, easy to
absorb and could be used on set as a great reference
guide. Inspirational case studies give you that boost
you need to get your own project on the go. An honest,
up to date, realistic view of film making that really
does fit in your back pocket. A very wise purchase!
