I read this book for Pre-production for Film and Television for a class at UCLA Film School. While my class was all over the map, this book gave me the concrete foundation of film making that I was looking for. It truly was a great read and had lots of great information for the up and coming film maker. The example this book uses is Swingers which is one of my favorites so maybe that's why it home for me. Enjoy! -A.W.
