Synopsis
Taking the reader from script to
final product, Peter Rea and David Irving clearly illustrate all of the steps involved in
pre-production, production,
post production and distribution. Their unique two-fold approach looks at filmmaking
from the perspectives of both producer and director and
explains how their separate energies must combine in order to create a successful short
film.
