YOUR GUIDE TO PRODUCING, MARKETING, AND SCREENING YOUR INDEPENDENT
DIGITAL FILM

Based on a the successful Digital Filmmaking Workshops series, this comprehensive guide shows you how to get your film shot, edited, and most importantly, SEEN, all without big stars or big budgets!

Step-by-step information on

	Organizing yourself as a business
	How to generate funding
	Money-saving production and post-production techniques
	Marketing your film
	Self-distribution of your finished project

Written by successful independent filmmakers Bill Millios and Marc Vadeboncoeur, who deliver all of this must-have information to you in one unique, easy-to-read manual.

"Bill and Marc have made it their passion to create films that are true to the heart and tell their stories their way, embarking on a grassroots approach not only during production, but through the marketing and distribution of their films, as well."

Matthew Newton
Director, NH Film Office

Not the same old recycled film-school nonsense

Unlike other film training products which teach the old school methods of trying to "break into" the Hollywood scene, The Digital Filmmaking Workshops Handbook teaches you how to write, produce, and direct a quality film using today's affordable digital tools.

But it doesn't end there!

Let's face it. Most indie films never see the light of day, never mind the inside of a real theater. There are thousands of filmmakers out there, passionate about what they do, who will try to bring their vision to the screen.

And about 97% of them will never succeed.

You might feel like you're one of them, but you don't have to be! We've created a model for independent filmmakers that will allow you to join the 3% who do finally bring your vision to the screen.

Enjoy the success that eludes 97% of indie filmmakers

Unlike others who simply spout filmmaking theory, Bill and Marc have actually DONE what they teach.

"Old Man Dogs is a heartfelt showcase of raw talent with something to say - makes masterful use of the New Hampshire outdoor locations. Director Bill Millios deftly handles emotional scenes. As a calling card for the New Hampshire film community, Old Man Dogs does the job."

Variety

"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."

DVD Talk

"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."

Charlie Sherman
