How to Make a Low-Budget Digital Movie

If you work in a cubicle dreaming of making a movie that others like you actually want to see, this guy got his movies into film festivals and beyond, made a profit and he did it on extremely low budgets. He is completely honest about how such a low budget can keep a film from being accepted at a film festival and how to get past such an obstacle. With today's technology: A Mac, Final Cut Express, a a Canon XL-1, other equipment you can purchase on ebay or rent for almost nothing... With a staff that you can help by giving them the opportunity to act (something a lot of people want to get a chance at doing) while paying staff through a temp firm that handles things like workers comp, etc. ... David Curran explains, in a way that keeps your interest, step by step how to make a movie on a low budget in broadcast quality. In addition, he gives simple tips on real special effects that cost virtually nothing. Buy this rather than just dreaming. David Curran not only knows his stuff, but he cares about your dreams.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would love a few great tips for making movies. I learned a lot from it and would happily read it again several more times. :)
