Jolliffe and Zinnes, building on their previous book on guerrilla film making, turn to over 100 experts on all aspects of making documentaries, including finding subjects, getting funded,
exercising appropriate ethics, dealing with censorship, distributing and, of course, the all-important budgeting and fundraising. Their experts give practical advice on getting training,
setting up the legal aspects of your work, making the most of film organizations, writing, working with broadcasters and production companies, getting a global perspective, conducting
production and post-production, and marketing. They also offer case studies of two dozen significant films, including several for which the filmmakers actually did get to thank their moms and
the academy. The result is both hopeful and realistic. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
