Complete and then some

This book goes into fairly extensive detail on almost all aspects of film production. Production is a grey area to most and this book illuminates it quite well. It is a bit dry and long winded but is more than made up for by its excellent index and organization. It doesn't have to be a page turner if you can find the page you need. Buy it and use it as you need it (and you will need it)

Invaluable resource, a must-buy for all aspiring and experienced independent producers

I'm a writer-producer currently prepping my first independent film where I'm in the driver's seat. This book has been an invaluable resource for me along the way in terms of educating me on the industry and laying out all of the steps I need to take in order to pull off this project. I've read a number of other books on producing lately, and so far nothing else comes even close to this one. Completely comprehensive, from development to distribution.

Pretty darn good

I'm still reading this book. It is a slow read and you must take your time to really let the info. seep in. From what I read so far, I like it. It is a professional, not too much though (which is a great thing) book, gives the reader alot of numbers to compare and to show how the business works these numbers. I would recommend this book, definately. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

All the info you need, but perhaps a bit outdated

Full of just about every bit of info you need to make an indie film, but it was written 25 years ago, so it inevitably doesn't directly apply to newer forms of filmmaking and the recent changes in the industry. Other than that, an excellent book.

Be sure to check copyright and other reviews

I have the 1998 version, and this is a very informative book. But be sure to verify the copyright of the book you are ordering. There are 3 editions: 1982, 1998, and 2003. Per an unconfirmed review at google, the 2003 is not completely updated but merely the 1982 version with a new cover. In this ever-changing industry of independent film, I hope that Mr. Goodell will soon release an even more current version that is as up-to-date as possible. Still highly recommend the 1998 version.

This new edition of the filmmaker's bible has been completely updated to reflect changes in every aspect of the moviemaking process.
