description: Anyone can make a short film right? Just grab some friends and your handheld and you can do it in a weekend or two before being accepted to a slew of film festivals right?Wrong.Roberta Munroe screened short film submissions at Sundance for five years and is an award-winning short filmmaker in her own right. So she knows a thing or two about how not to make a short film. From the first draft of your script to casting production editing and distribution this is your one-stop primer for breaking into the business. Featuring interviews with many of today's most talented writers producers and directors as well as revealing stories (e.g. what to do when the skinhead crack addict next door begins screaming obscenities as soon as you call action) from the sets of her own short films Roberta walks you through the minefield of mistakes that an aspiring filmmaker can make--so that you don't have to make them yourself.
