Book Presentation:
A detailed recounting of the step-by-step process of the development, production and distribution of three micro-budget feature films with one critical commonality - producer and fifteen-year independent filmmaking veteran Josh Folan. Josh walks the reader through each and every painstaking step of the making of three sub-$250,000 USD films featured in the case study - Ask For Jane, Love Is Dead!, catch 22 - while explaining, scrutinizing and contrasting the experience in a voice intended to entertain, not lecture. The experience of producing sixteen feature films and a bevy of short, episodic and commercial projects inform the words herein, across which countless mistakes and learning experiences were had by the author. Still Filmmaking, the Hard Way offers readers the opportunity to learn this laundry list of lessons at a tiny fraction of the cost of crippling your own film's micro-budget.
