Book Description
Anyone can make a short film, right? Just grab some friends and your handheld and you can do it in a weekend or two before being accepted to a slew of film festivals, right? Wrong. Roberta Munroe screened short film submissions at Sundance for five years, and is an award-winning short filmmaker in her own right. So she knows a thing or two about how not to make a short film. From the first draft of your script to casting, production, editing, and distribution, this is your one-stop primer for breaking into the business. Featuring interviews with many of today's most talented writers, producers, and directors, as well as revealing stories (e.g., what to do when the skinhead crack addict next door begins screaming obscenities as soon as you call "action") from the sets of her own short films, Roberta walks you through the minefield of mistakes that an aspiring filmmaker can make--so that you don't have to make them yourself.

Nowadays you can make great small films with a few banknotes, it's all about the story and knowing what you can do.About the AuthorDiego Fandos is a Spanish filmmaker who works as Screenwriting instructor in Prague Film School.

Book Description
Scripts (of less than 30 pages) that result in short films or videos (less than 30 minutes) are the ones that beginning scriptwriters are most likely to write and that are most likely to be produced. Focusing on visualization, dialogue, settings, characters, structure, and themes, Phillips (English, Cal. State U., Stanislaus) provides a guide to the writing of such scripts, from gathering and organizing materials to writing, rewriting, and formatting.
