    The Complete Guide to Making a Movie

    Just what I was looking for!

    Wow, who would've thought someone had made a book like this?! It covers almost everything a filmmaker may need to have legal rights to his beginning movies. The only thing I could see that it might need is some more contracts about the music for movies, like specific ones for the singer, composer, lyricist, etc.

    Even though, this is a definate must for those serious about filmmaking.
