Books on the Practical Side of Filmmaking

[RallyMonkey]

I have read and studied quite a bit on the art of filmmaking. Many books on directing, cinematography, and screenwriting.

Yet, what I have not found many books on at all is the practical side of filmmaking. Budgeting, managing the set, working with the crew. I have been searching for books like this, but it seems like most books are marketed towards micro-budget filmmakers. This is not what I want. I am much more interested in features from the 500K to the million dollar range.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good books on these subjects?

Thanks.

Directing, by Michael Rabiger covers a lot of the practical directing stuff.

http://www.amazon.com/Directing-Fou...=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236559864&sr=8-2

Quite a good read.

You may want to also seek out books on producing indie features because a lot of that stuff is saved for the producing books. (budgeting, marketing, managing, crew etc.)

I have already read Directing. A good portion of what I know is from that book.

Here's a book on Budgeting. And one of Scheduling. And one more on Budgeting. I've used all three.
