Filmmaking Tips for the Independent Filmmaker

“Making the Magic Happen: The Art and Craft of Film Directing”

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: In January 2015 I received a message from Michael Wiese (film book publisher) who asked me if I would like to write a film directing book. Oh yeah!!!! Well…two years later, “Making the Magic Happen – The Art and Craft of Film Directing” has just been published and is now for sale on the Michael Wiese Productions website!

I am very proud of “Making the Magic Happen – The Art and Craft of Film Directing” and I could never have written this book without the love, friendship and help from all those people who have supported and influenced me in both my personal life and my professional life.

I would also like to give a big “thank you” to all the friends and film industry professionals too numerous to mention whom I’ve had the pleasure of working with on some amazing (and not so amazing) movies and TV shows. You know who you are! “Making the Magic Happen – The Art and Craft of Film Directing
