Did you know that most of the biggest indie filmmakers, screenwriters, and producers working today each made the same avoidable mistakes early on in their careers? The Reel Truth details the pitfalls, snares, and roadblocks that aspiring filmmakers encounter. Reed Martin interviewed more than one hundred luminaries from the independent film world to discuss the near misses that almost derailed their first and second films and identify the close shaves that could have cut their careers short. Other books may tell you the best way to make your independent film or online short, but no other book describes so candidly how to spot and avoid such issues and obstacles as equipment problems, shooting-day snafus, postproduction myths, theatrical distribution deal breakers, and dozens of other commonly made missteps, including the top fifty mistakes every filmmaker makes. From personal experience and his years as a freelance reporter covering independent film for USA Today and Filmmaker magazine, Martin uncovers the truth about the risks and potential rewards that go with chasing celluloid glory. Whether you're writing a screenplay, looking for financing, about to start shooting, or thinking about investing time and money (or someone else's money) in an independent film, The Reel Truth is a must-read.

Independent filmmaking is a useful avenue for first-time filmmakers or those shooting with a low-budget, but there are other reasons some choose to produce films outside of the studio system. Independent films - or "indie films"- are controlled more by the creator in terms of content, voice, and style. With a lack of big-budget and fewer crew members at their disposal, indie filmmakers can be more hands-on with their film productions, and have greater freedom to tell the story they want to tell. Have you ever dreamed of making a movie but didn't know where to start? The author, a professional actor, and screenwriter shares his own unique process in this step-by-step booklet of how he made two feature-length movies with less than $2,000 dollars on each film project. The guide takes your project from the screenplay to post-production. Filled with both instruction and advice as well as how to avoid some common mistakes, the author explains how to assemble a film crew, cast your film, attain sponsorship and donations, and much more.

George Stevens was the first to know - months before Frank D. Gilroy had even an inkling. As they scouted locations for The Only Game in Town in 1968, Stevens repeatedly handed Gilroy his viewfinder to consider possible scenes. Asked to explain why he was so insistent on this procedure, Stevens answered with certainty, "You're going to direct some day". Gilroy recalled Stevens' words two years later when, unhappy with the limited role of screenwriter, he optioned Desperate Characters by Paula Fox, determined not only to adapt her novel for the screen but to direct the film. Fortunately for film buffs, film historians, film students, and prospective independent film producers, Gilroy is a compulsive diarist who wrote I Wake Up Screening! while he made four independent feature films - each accorded three stars in Leonard Maltin's TV Movies and Video Guide - for a total investment of two million dollars (for all four films!). These intimate logs of the making of Desperate Characters, Once in Paris, The Gig, and The Luckiest Man in the World show clearly that a film school that doesn't include in its curriculum discussions of negotiating with the Teamsters and of raising money by independent producers is leaving out vital parts of the film-making process. Because Gilroy wrote the scripts, raised the money, assembled the production team, directed, opened each of the four films, and even ventured into the murky world of distribution, I Wake Up Screening! is a vast repository of information about film making in general and independent film making in particular. It is not recommended for anyone who wishes to preserve a fairy-tale notion about feature film making. When Gilroy first consideredpublishing these logs, his wife encouraged him. "Do it", she said. "If it stops one person from following in your footsteps it will be worthwhile".

The Angry Filmmaker's Survival Guide Part One: Making the Extreme No Budget Film "When it comes to independent filmmaking Kelley Baker is the real thing. His experience, observations and practical advice reveals the raw truth about an important art form that has been hijacked, over-romanticized and betrayed by everyone from the mainstream media to its very own champions. This book is about real filmmaking. If you are thinking about making an independent film, you must read this book." Brian Johnson, author, screenwriter, and director "Angry or not, Kelley Baker knows his stuff, and he tells it all in this book that's part indie film war story, part instructional manual for true independents, and part furious rant. It's always entertaining, and it might just tick you off, but - most important - the advice contained within these pages will help you get your film made. Anyone reading this book can tell Baker truly wants to help passionate wannabe filmmakers realize their creative visions without going bankrupt or making the kinds of mistakes they can't afford to make." Chris Hansen, Writer/Director The Proper Care and Feeding of an American Messiah. & Endings. Kelley Baker is the Angry Filmmaker. But his independent films are not angry, they're honest. He's angry at the state of independent film. For Baker, it's about telling the story, not what actors are starring in it. From making award winning short films to the trials and tribulations of making three independent features with tiny budgets and no financial backing. Kelley lays it all out. Dealing with the "Independent Film World" and the lies they tell. His films have been seen all over the world and no one has ever guessed his budgets or the struggles of making them look as good as they do. This book takes you step by step through making films on very little money, interspersed with tales of how the business really operates and the frustrations of being a Real Independent Filmmaker. Like any good survivalist, Kelley Baker doesn't beat around the bush - he gets right down to the nitty-gritty heart of the matter right way. His 12 chapter Survival Guide is a compact, no-holds-barred 12-step program to creating what Baker calls "The Extreme No-Budget Film." Baker is on fire about making films. You will be too after reading this brutally honest compilation of personal stories and practical advice from the front lines of independent filmmaking. Morrie Warshawski, Consultant and Author (Shaking the Money Tree: The Art of Getting Grants and Donations for Film and Video - 3rd Edition) Read this book and you will not only SURVIVE but you will SUCCEED. One of the best books on making your way through the independent filmmaking jungle with justifiably-angry filmmaker Kelley Baker as your top-notch guide: Funny, profane and committed to telling the unblemished truth. Don't make your next movie until you've read this terrific book. John Gaspard, Author, Digital Filmmaking 101, Fast, Cheap and Under Control, and Fast, Cheap and Written That Way. This is a killer book. It tells you what your teachers can't, because they haven't done it. It tells you what your friends can't, for the same reason. Jammed with tons of useful advice, Baker's book is an invaluable "think before you shoot" guide for beginning filmmakers, as well as people who've been around the block, but need a refresher course. William M. Akers, author of Your Screenplay Sucks! 100 Ways To Make It Great Finally, a film resource that tells it like it is! As a film festival director, I watch hundreds (if not thousands) of films a year - some good, many flawed. I wish I could afford to send copies of "Survival Guide: Part 1" to every director I encounter, to help them identify and correct potential issues before they roll the camera. Jon Gann, Director, DC Shorts Film Festival Here, with all his attitude, is the wisdom of an Angry Filmmaker, gained the hard way, through experience.
