"The bible, updated." -- The Independent

"Simply amazing. If you have to have only one book about video production, this is it."
-- Zenera.com

"Gold-standard technical reference book for filmmakers."
-- Boston Globe

"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

"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, Asstant Professor, San Francisco State University

"I read the thing like it was the Bible for almost a full year. I have never been to film school, but the knowledge it gave me was more than enough to "make it" in the industry. (I am writing this from my desk in the camera testing department at Red Digital, where I now work.) I honestly cannot thank you enough. "
-- Stephen Balsley
