The Total Film-Maker
Description:
A star director explains every phase of fundamental film technique - from Production and Direction
to Distribution.
Manuscript culled from 480 hours of Jerry Lewis lectures at the University of Southern California.
Includes chapters on every aspect of filmmaking, from setting up a deal with a studio to distribution
and invaluable advice on working with [and selecting] actors, cast and crew.
Though originally written in 1971, the book still resonates with wisdom and verve in Lewis's inimitable style and honesty.
