Book Reviews
"Great
book John, very useful. In fact I'd like your permission to
use the book for my syllabus with the American Film Institute.
Let's keep in touch!" Michael Glick, longtime Film Producer
and former VP of Productions at MGM.
"I
have just gone through John's book myself and I must recommend
this book to anyone who is involved, (or wants to get involved)
with film production. The book is written in an easy reading
style at a level appropriate for film students and crew who
want to upgrade. It is also useful for Directors and new Producers
who want some help with the basics of budgeting. "Walk
the Talk" is very well laid out and has sections for
the beginner and the advanced professional. Check it out."
Peter D. Marshall- Directors Chair
"
I just read your book-Good stuff. I will make sure my Producers
read it ASAP! This is a great book for Independent Filmmakers
and Producers! It helped me to quickly understand the basics
behind how a seemingly inflexible budget can actually be managed
to a filmmaker's advantage. I recommend it to anyone entering
the world of film production with a mind on making it a career."
- Elza Kephart, Independent Director/writer.
"Man,
all directors and screenwriters should have this book. I've
been lucky to work on two film productions after graduating,
so I knew how much importance is placed on Cost Reports and
Film Budgets. But, I didn't understand how the Director and
Producer could manipulate the budget money to satisfy the
Director, yet still come in on budget. Now I get it. It's
a great manual to have on hand - I like the way it has a 'manual'
feel to it. The only complaint I have is that I want to know
more about the beginning and end of the Stories in the book!"
-Adam Loeb, Producer's Assistance on "Exorcism"
and "The Last Kiss".
"The book is comprehensive and straightforward, making
it a great manual to have on hand. I can relate the clearly
presented charts with the text so that I not only understand
what I'm reading, but I'm confident I can apply it on a practical
level. The Appendices are extremely helpful and handy to have.
The Stories are fun, too, adding some laughs along the way."
