 Why Go To Film School? Frequently Asked Questions
 

Is reading this e-Book the same as going to film school?

Heck no! No book is a substitute for going to any school. But it is a great starting point for those who haven't had any formal training or schooling in digital video or film production and would like to take it a step further while accommodating their budget and schedule. WGTFS? covers the fundamentals of creating a successful production and has given many indie filmmakers the basic training to pursue dreams in film and to expand the indie film community.


What makes your book different from all those other "Film" books?

The WGTFS? filmmaking production book focuses on the solid organizing, planning and execution of a project while shedding more light onto the actual filmmaking process. It is not an all-in-one book about filmmaking (those of which usually tend to dilute one of the major steps in the production process - Preproduction). The concentrated source of fundamentals found in Why Go To Film School? are designed to help those who are getting started in pursuing film and video.


What's the best age bracket to benefit from the stuff in your e-Book?

All ages. Well, except for those who haven't learned to walk or talk yet. But they'll be ready soon, too. For now, however, just about anyone who has a desire to give filmmaking a shot but needs to learn where and how to start will benefit.


What if I haven't had any film training or don't know the first thing about film or video production? How's the learning curve?

You don't need any background in film or video to understand the concepts that are in the book. It's presented in an easy-to-read format that is simple and uncomplicated so you can get to making your movie faster.


I've taken some film courses and workshops. Is this e-book still helpful to me?
