Zusatztext "I recommend Preparing for Takeoff to anyone making an independent film. While there are other books on the subject! what sets this one apart is how well it explains the balance between the artistic process the writer/director goes through and the practical decisions the producer has to consider! especially when working low budget. Vincie shows how the two affect each other and offers creative solutions for dealing with limited resources without compromising the filmmaker's artistic vision."Dorothy Rompalske! Film Department! Brooklyn College! CUNY"Everyone on the filmmaking team! from director to cinematographer! to location scout to casting director! can benefit from what Preparing for Takeoff covers. While allowing for lots of creativity! it brings concrete planning to everyone's position. Too many filmmaking books are simply stories! fun to read! but not all that helpful.
