My Personal Film School
I may not be able to afford film school but I can afford books. Here is my film library. Some of these I read a while back and others I bought yesterday when I was in Burbank. I am now on my third book, “What They Don’t Teach You at Film School.”
I just finished, “In The Blink of An Eye” and loved every moment of it. I didn’t want the book the end. My personal film school is: Read a book, make a film, read a new book, film….
Here are a few more books I am looking to read:
Make the Cut: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Assistant Editor in Film and TV
by Lori Coleman and Diana Friedberg
First Cut: Conversations with Film Editors
by Gabriella Oldham
Do you have any favorite film books?
So, are you trying to be a filmmaker or an editor?
PS: I’ve been reading “Story” by Robert McKee since 1998.
Pro-Black Sheep the movie
Both..
but mainly a film editor. Thanks for the book recommendation, Im going to look it up!
