 Fantastic guide to film making! October 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a genuinely great read for directors, film students or people who are just thinking about having a go. Figgis encourages you to go out and make a film regardless of your previous experience and his book is truly inspiring. Reading it made me itching to go and film something.
Simply put, encouraging and motivating this book is a must have for anyone interested in film making. And Mike Figgis' break from the traditional industry path is refreshing.

At last! A book that isn't 600 pages long telling you 'how to make a masterpiece' but rather offering simple advice and information from an established director with something to say. This book is absolutely ESSENTIAL for any film student or director with access to even the most basic DV camera. Figgis states the case clearly and effectively with personal examples from his own career. A short, concise, easy to read book that doesn't talk down to it's reader (if you have a camera you ARE a director, regardless - and thank Mike Figgis for saying it in this 'industry' obssessed age). Highly recommended, especially for students of the craft.

'When I was a young, aspiring, photographer, i read a book, in French, 'La photographie', by Edourd Boubard (i had just got A level french, so...) It was a simple book, that gave me enough courage to go out into the world, and take photographs.
I am now a professional film maker, and I wish I had read Mike Figgis's book before I started on that new adventure, because his book would have helped greatly.
if you are starting out, read this book, and 'In the blink of an eye', by Walter Murch
