Roberta Marie Munroe
Anyone can make a short film, right? Just grab some friends and your handheld and you can do it in a weekend or two before being accepted to a slew of film festivals, right?
Wrong.
Roberta Munroe screened short film submissions at Sundance for five years, and is an award-winning short filmmaker in her own right. So she knows a thing or two about how not to make a short film. From the first draft of your script to casting, production, editing, and distribution, this is your one-stop primer for breaking into the business. Featuring interviews with many of today's most talented writers, producers, and directors, as well as revealing stories (e.g., what to do when the skinhead crack addict next door begins screaming obscenities as soon as you call "action") from the sets of her own short films, Roberta walks you through the minefield of mistakes that an aspiring filmmaker can make - so that you don't have to make them yourself.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. There is a lot of excellent information in here for the beginning short film producer or producer/dir. As with other books related to the movie business, I think it will be helpful to also purchase the hard copy. But I like having this to listen to while in the car. Well done for my purposes.Any additional comments?
I'll get the hard copy as well.Just What I Was Looking For

Same with Kelly's book, I think they're both valuable and it helps to hear another's perspective especially when you don't have the experience yet.
