Still Truckin'

Something I have been thinking about since I have been in LA = how will we get our movies made. There are obviously a hundred ways to do this. And one of the easy ways to research the subject is to read filmmaking books. There are so many of these: one for every one of us, to suit our level of comfort with the topic. One of the things I was thinking of was starting a discussion on what different people think. I just don't want to be the one talking. Also, I realize its summer vacation and people want to recuperate: so based on the response, I will either keep this post up or take it down and pretend it never happened :) But this is a chance to start a discussion, so here goes. If people submit responses to iamsuds@gmail.com. I can do a little anthology deal and we can publish it for all to share and comment on. If there are other questions we want to start discussions on, throw them in

Book I'm reading: Down and Dirty Pictures by Peter Biskind [History of Indy Film from 1989 on] + The Movie Business Book, edited by Jason Squire. Biskind recommended, 2nd one I don't know for sure yet. Also on the anvil: Quicktime for Filmmakers by Richard Ferncase [plenty of info on the technical-how-tos for QT = self distributing on the web].
