My Filmmaking Ebook

Start Making Movies is my 163-page illustrated guide to filmmaking, drawing on more than thirty years' experience of teaching film. It starts from the basics and takes you through how films tell stories, what gear you need, and how to plan, shoot and edit your own short movies or videos.

If you can't afford the guide price of $14.99, just pay what you can.
