      Successful filmmakers like Luke Greenfield (The Animal) and Peter Lord (Chicken Run) began their careers by making short films. In this guide, Levy (Hollywood 101; The Hollywood Way) aims to help aspiring filmmakers reach informed decisions on issues of casting, crew, editing, budgeting, presenting a strong story line, and, most important, applying for financing. Unlike most filmmaking scribes, he does not give technical instructions; instead, he takes the reader through the process from start to finish. Included are budgeting plans, sample fund-raising letters, and sample scripts that were made into well-known shorts. Quotes and insights from professional filmmakers help to validate Levy's points. Kim Adelman's The Ultimate Filmmaker's Guide to Short Films: Making It Big in Shorts covers similar material and would make a great companion. This is an excellent resource for all serious film students; anyone interested in starting to make films will find it invaluable. Purchase where there is interest.
