5Dov's book is indeed "the real deal."  Aug 31, 2010
Dov's advice and strategies have propelled household names like Quentin Tarantino, Will Smith, and Guy Ritchie to success in the film industry. Coming from the Roger Corman school of film, I can say that his section on production (and on how to cut costs) is a little dated. However, his section on what to do with your film after completion (making the deal, marketing, foreign sales, etc.) is a must-read for anyone that wants to have any semblance of a career in movies.

5No issues, speedy delivery, item as described  Jul 03, 2010
there were no problems with the item, it was delivered in a timely manner, and the item was as described. My compliments.

5Still a Great book to get your teeth into!  May 13, 2010
Although the book was written in 2003, Dov S-S Simen's highly knowledgeable approach to the "Film Business" is still being used today as standard practice of Independent to Blockbuster Movies. Dov provides the tools to help you understand the fundamentals of what it is required to finance you first feature and other valuable information that Film Schools don't teach you. I recommend this book as a fantastic foundation of industry terms, rules and tactics to "Get Real" and JUST DO IT! Keep in mind that this is NOT a book of Making Money Fast for Your Feature Film, but simply a tool to point you to the right direction. This book has helped me get projects off the ground and surfacing them to where it can be seen. Dov also has his site on-line with FREE updated info, and a 2 Day Film School on the Web and on DVD. Happy Film Making!

5The Best Film Production Book I ever read  Jan 21, 2010
And I have read a quite a few. I love this book. Dov's no-nonsense approach to Film production is amazing. His teachings on Writing the script of finding the perfect script are amazing pearls of wisdom that are working for me. No one can teach to write/come up with a budget like Dov.It made me not be afraid of the film industry and real independent still exists. This book made me take his 2_day Film School, and that wat the best 2 days of film education i have receive. Now i have a project in production and I'm following all of Dov's steps. Thank you Dov
