"Dangerous Crosswinds
is honest and brave filmmaking - Bill Millios
is a master of independent films that are honest
and intellectual."
New Hampshire Union Leader
|
"Old Man Dogs is
full of moody subtleties which may make the
big-budget commercial-film connoisseur uneasy.
Audiences will walk away saying that they never
have seen anything like this produced on Granite
State soil."
The Boston Globe
|
"Four Stars!
Plenty of interesting questions are raised about
controversial issues, and the fact that the
film has the guts to ask them goes a long way
in my book. More good news arrives on
the DVD front; it's a solid effort all around,
boasting a good technical presentation and a
surprisingly solid amount of bonus features."

"Dangerous Crosswinds
is so well written, acted and shot that it left
me wondering how such a production could have
been made on such a small budget."

If
you've been asking yourself the following questions
. . .
 |
How
can I get a film done when I've barely got a
budget to work with?
|
 |
Filmmaking
seems so complex - can I really do this?
|
 |
I
don't know a soul in the media. How on earth
do I get word out about my film?
|
 |
I
don't want to take a bath on this. Is
there any way I can actually make money on my
film?
|
Then
the Digital Filmmaking Workshops Handbook Is For YOU!

Don't spin your wheels
and waste precious time, energy, and money.
Avoid making the
most common mistakes that 97% of all indie filmmakers
make!
Learn exactly what
you need to do in order to get your film seen by real
people in real theaters.
(Hint: renting a room and showing your project to
your family and friends does NOT make you a successful
filmmaker.)
"Bill
and Marc have learned plenty in their travels,
and through this book, they are eager to
share their knowledge and experiences with
you.
Independent filmmaking has changed in
such a way over the last decade that now
there really is no right or wrong way to
approach the craft. Filmmakers today are
amazingly innovative, and with the evolution
of digital technology and new outlets where
artists can have their work be seen, the
art and business of filmmaking are more
accessible than ever.
Whether you are just beginning your creative
journey in filmmaking or if you are a seasoned
professional looking to explore a new point
of view, I’m certain you’ll
