Producing with Passion. Dorothy FadimanЧитать онлайн книгу.

“Many people make documentary movies; Dorothy Fadiman crafts crusades. She’s a force of nature, relentless in her pursuit of accuracy and excellence, unremittingly progressive, and yet canny and strategic in the way she develops her arguments. Reading about how she does this is equal to a Master’s Degree in Communications.”

—Peter Coyote, Actor/Author/Emmy Award–winning narrator of more than 100 documentary productions

“Combining the political passion of the ’60s and ’70s with a DIY approach now familiar on YouTube, Fadiman embodies the best of both generations, a fusion that makes this book indispensable to all those interested in documenting their own era or engaging with their own times.”

—Marsha Kinder is Professor of Critical Studies and Founding Director of The Labyrinth Project at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts.

“This insightful work is ‘the handbook’ for any filmmaker who is thinking about producing a personal documentary. Fadiman’s films have made a difference and this book will show you, step by step, how your work can too. Producing with Passion is a must read for anyone setting out to make social change media.”

—Mitchell Block’s distribution company, Direct Cinema Limited, has handled many documentaries and shorts including more than 60 Oscar nominees and winners.

“In the television industry, we are deluged with scripts and ideas for programs. What stands out are the few original voices. This book brings together inspiring guidance with practical suggestions for how to discover and develop your own vision so that, as your project evolves, the work remains truly original.”

—Jeremiah Bosgang is the Executive Vice President, Television for SONY BMG Music Entertainment. He has held executive posts at NBC, Fox, MTV and the Howard Stern Production Company, and has written for Saturday Night Live, In Living Color and The Best Damn Sports Show Period.

“Producing with Passion is a must-have resource for those interested in producing or making documentaries. Whether you have a big budget or a very limited one, this book will guide you through the process of bringing your vision to life.”

— Kari Ann Morgan, Microfilmmaker Magazine

“As the world gets smaller, it’s the smaller films that make the biggest impact. Fadiman and Levelle have crafted an excellent guide that provides step by step support for the novice documentary filmmaker. It’s about time somebody championed films that make money AND make a difference!”

— Catherine Clinch, Publisher www.MomsDigitalWorld.com

“One of the best ways to learn the craft of filmmaking is to apprentice with an artisan. Dorothy Fadiman is not only a master at the art of making films, she is a great teacher who is willing to share her experience with us in her new book, Producing with Passion”

— Stewart Cheifet, Executive Producer, Producer, Director & Writer of over one thousand programs for PBS including Computer Chronicles, A Life of Dancing, Return of Apollo 11
