    Filmmaking, the Hard Way Series

    By Josh Folan

    ()

    About this series

    A detailed recounting of the step-by-step process of the development, production and distribution of three micro-budget feature films with one critical commonality – producer and fifteen-year independent filmmaking veteran Josh Folan.  Josh walks the reader through each and every painstaking step of the making of three sub-$250,000 USD films featured in the case study – Ask For Jane, Love Is Dead!, catch 22 – while explaining, scrutinizing and contrasting the experience in a voice intended to entertain, not lecture.  The experience of producing sixteen feature films and a bevy of short, episodic and commercial projects inform the words herein, across which countless mistakes and learning experiences were had by the author.  Still Filmmaking, the Hard Way offers readers the opportunity to learn this laundry list of lessons at a tiny fraction of the cost of crippling your own film's micro-budget.

      A cynical case study of the feature film production of All God's Creatures written by multi-hyphenate writer/producer/director/actor Josh Folan, "Filmmaking, the Hard Way" puts low budget filmmaking under the microscope by analyzing the process of making a film from top to bottom with an honesty and transparency rarely found in writings of its kind. "Filmmaking, the Hard Way" lauds itself as THE indie filmmaker bible for problem solving at the micro-budget level and is written in a voice intended to speak to the reader as a peer, not a pupil.   "Josh has spent months processing and organizing everything he learned along the way and turned it into a book that can help you do the same. This is EXACTLY what indie filmmaking is all about. You would be hard-pressed to find another book as detailed and direct about the costs associated with getting this process right, the pitfalls, the tiny windows of opportunity that you must recognize and act upon immediately..." - Ryan Gielen, Award Winning Filmmaker
