Independent Filmmaking from Creative Concept to Rousing Release
By Roy Frumkes and Rocco Simonelli

When the script says "shoot me" and Hollywood says no, your only alternative is to raise the money and do it yourself. Here’s how screenwriters Roy Frumkes and Rocco Simonelli used digital video to do just that.

Adding to the authors’ testimony are interviews with notable independent filmmakers Ted Bonnitt, Michael Ellenbogen, and Richard Dutcher, who hone in on such issues as digital distribution, the indie film scene in New York and Hollywood, and the niche audiences who could make or break a film.

For any film student or indie buff seeking an insider’s perspective of the art and business of independent filmmaking, it doesn’t get any closer than this.
