Critic reviews

"We never put out an actual textbook for the Corman School of Filmmaking, but if we did, it would be Fast, Cheap and Under Control." (Roger Corman, producer, New Horizons)

"This terrific little book explains how to make every penny count on the often arduous journey from script to screen." (John Carpenter, director, Halloween, Starman, Escape from New York)

"This book is as good as film school, and a lot less expensive. It's required reading in Tromaville." (Lloyd Kaufman, president, Troma Entertainment, creator, Toxic Avenger)
