Getting your movie shown in theaters, on television, streaming services, and online Review Praise for The Filmmaker's Handbook "Seminal."-- The New York Times "Gold-standard technical reference book for filmmakers."-- Boston Globe "The bible--updated."-- The Independent "This is an essential book."--Self-Reliant Filmmaking "You need this book. Billed as the authoritative guide to filmmaking from fundraising to distribution, the book achieves this in clear, accessible language using current up-to-date information. It's easy to see why this has become a standard text in many film schools. A gilt-edged investment for aspiring and beginning filmmakers and it would not be out of place in the libraries of experienced professionals either."--James MacGregor, Netribution.co.uk "This edition of the book is awesome. I don't know how you managed it. Such a mass of information so expertly organized and so clearly presented! Amazing."--Alfred Guzzetti, Professor, Harvard University "A good mentor provides a sounding board and guidance as you struggle to solve a problem and enables you to become a better filmmaker. This book is a mentor you can count on for thoughtful advice from someone who's 'been there and done that.' Creating a book that is comprehensive, readable and useful - that takes a gift. Very nice work!" - Larry Jordan, award-winning producer and educator "Anyone who is serious about learning the language and techniques of this art, whether amateur or professional, must have this comprehensive reference."--Bookviews "Speaking as a member of the 'figure it out yourself' camp, I consider most 'technical' reference books to be nothing more than leisure reading. This one is worth its salt. Every page is relevant and fascinating. When I find a chapter that refers to something we've done, I realize that every mistake we made was covered, if only we'd thought to read up beforehand."--Genericfilms.com "I was thrilled to find your book, which is a gem. No matter what corner of the subject I poked into, looking for cogent explanations, the Handbook passed with flying colors. So please accept my admiration, appreciation and thanks."--Pat Jackson, Associate Professor, San Francisco State University; Emmy-winning Supervising Sound Editor About the Author Steven Ascher is an Oscar-nominated filmmaker whose films include Troublesome Creek and So Much So Fast.
