 A good present January 14, 2008
I offered this book to a friend who is into film production. He seemed to be really satisfied with the book content...
Excellent read. October 9, 2007
Eve has done a great job of encapsulating the logistical process of making a film. One could call Eve's book a filmmaking bible. No other book says it better.
