In 25 years, Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to its current--and legendary--status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true cinematic independence, and the world's greatest collection of camp on film. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs entertaining and funny as it is informative and insightful, \u003ci\u003eMake Your Own Damn Movie! \u003c\/i\u003eplaces Kaufman's radically low-budget, independent-studio style of filmaking directly in the reader's hands. Thus we learn how to: develop and write a knock-out screenplay; raise funding; find locations and cast actors; hire a crew; obtain equipment, permits, and music rights (all for little or no money); make incredible special effects for $0.79 each; charm, schmooze, and network while on the film-festival circuit; and, finally, make a bad actor act so bad it's actually good. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom scriptwriting and directing to financing and marketing, this book is brimming with utterly off-the-wall, decidedly maverick, yet consistently proven advice on how to fully develop one's idea for an independent film.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377302569183,"sku":"9780312288648","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/6eOZnp_jbu9780312288648.webp?v=1789232748"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/lloyd-kaufman.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
