Which filmmaking books are on your bookshelf?

[Jared Meyer]

Here are a few I find myself re-reading constantly.

Anyone have any other recommendations?

'Adventures in the Screen Trade' by William Goldman is a great look into screenwriting (and you'll appreciate the fact that it's written by a writer!)

 

[Jared Meyer]

Love that one!

EDIT

It was the last one I linked before I refreshed the page. Great minds think alike

There's MORE Adventures in the Screen Trade? I'm adapting a short story at the moment - so I've gotta look that sucker up.

Just about anything by Focal Press is good.

You know, I didn't even realize that you listed a different title. I didn't know that "Which Lie did I tell" was a "sequel." Cool.

Apart from the usual stuff, I find the Projections series of books very valuable in gaining insight into making films and behind the scenes knowledge.

I'd love to check them out. Got a title or a link?

Projections, Projections 2, Projections 3....they're up to at least 13, as far as I have seen.

John Boorman started the series, and acted as an editor.

Cool, thanks.
