Film Schooling: The Down & Dirty (and painfully honest) Guide to Independent Filmmaking:
So, you want to make movies? Well, you can drop $100,000 on a film school degree or dive right in head-first and make your first film.
Either way - you're getting schooled!
...or you could take the easier route. The reality is, I learned more about making movies my first three weeks on a Hollywood film set then I did during four years of college. There are lessons everywhere - if you know where to look.
I have written, produced, directed, edited and sold dozens of feature films over the years. Some have been festival darlings, some have made money and one was kind of a turd... but many of the best lessons came from the misses and the mistakes.
If you're thinking about making an indie film, this is the book to walk you through the entire process and give you the best possible chance for success.
And with Film Schooling, we're even going to have some fun doing it!

About the Author

Chris wrote his first screenplay while still in high school and proceeded to hone his craft for the 30+ years that followed. His debut film Impact screened in film festivals around the country winning awards in most of them. This led to an executive producer financing his next project, a Vegas caper film called The Casino Job which sold 100,000 DVDs in its first month of release. Two more indie films followed, Counterpunch (starring Danny Trejo and Steven Bauer) and Dirty Dealing (starring Michael Madsen and C. Thomas Howell).

For the past five years, Chris has been working solely as a writer having sold five original screenplays as well as the film/tv rights to three of his books - most notably his science fiction debut book, Wasteland, which has been acquired along with four upcoming sequels in the franchise.
