Here
is just a glimpse of what readers have to say about
WGTFS?™:
"I thought
the book was extremely informative and it has allowed me
to work much more efficiently with my camera crew (I
made them read it too) so I could call the shots with
much more clarity. (all the vods from i31 was produced
after I read your book, and I think it shows.) Thumbs up
guys."

"This is a great book for people pursuing their
dreams on becoming a filmmaker, or people who are just
trying to get started. It does not matter if you have a
lot of knowledge or no knowledge on filmmaking, there's
something for you in this book.
My
first ever short film was filmed in 4 hours with one
MiniDV camcorder at a friend's house. I have never gone
to film school and make these shorts as learning
experiences. I wish I would have had the "Why Go To
Film School" book beforehand as it would have helped me
out a lot."

"Fantastic. It's a great,
quick read that synthesizes a whole lot of important
information into a small, concise and complete little
package. Friendly illustrations, fairly simply-written,
short, with lots of new information and cleared up a few
things I thought I already knew about filmmaking,
especially in the technical aspects of production and
equipment and the like. It's a great informational book
combining lots of basic and fundamental knowledge into a
small package that doesn't overdo the technical dialog
nor under-do the theoretical and plain old
informational/instructional aspects...I've recommended
it to a few friends now.
Thanks for the great book!"

"I thought it was
well-written and am grateful that someone took the time to
write it down and even release it. Now I better acquire a taste for Diet Coke!"

"The book has just about everything one needs to not
only learn what is necessary to carry out a film
project, but it can be used as a means as a
checklist and planning. The material was well
presented and logically arranged. Overall, the book
is an incredible source for the aspiring filmmaker
as well as the professional who wishes to brush up
on the things that will help the project get done
with attention to detail."

"Thanks so much
for providing this great e-book! This is a great intro
into filmmaking. I am fairly experienced and I
found some helpful hints, and whenever somebody comes to
me with an idea for a project, I refer them to your book
so that they can have a better idea of what is involved
in filmmaking, what they need to consider and what role
they are looking to play. The sample release forms are
also a great addition."

"I was very happy
when I discovered your web site, I learned a lot
from Why Go To Film School, it feels like you make
the book for me because I migrated in USA a few years
ago, the demonstration that you make in the
book provide me more skills and make me understand
the filmmaking and video production better now (my
native language: French, Creole)"

"Thank you!
I've taught video production for 9 years at the
high school level, but I've learned so
much already from your book! It summarizes a
lot of info into a learnable and teachable
form. Very usable!"
- Bob Gillen
"Thank You
Very Much... while reading the introduction
of this book, it made me to feel the book it
about me.
I cannot
afford to join film school but making film
is my greatest desire. Just by reading the introduction
chapter I felt this may help me a
lot. Thanks &
Regards."
