Summary: Let's Make Some Art!!!
Comment: Lloyd Kaufman is a genius. I personally was not that into Troma films in general until I read this book; I was an aspiring filmmaker looking for any advice I could get. "Make Your Own Damn Movie" not only was extremely informative and funny, but it also lit a fire under my butt to make my own art. Even if you are not a Tromaphile I would highly reccomend this book. Lloyd explains (sometimes briefly, sometimes more in-depth) every major aspect of the movie making process, from getting a script produced to how to get people to watch your movie at festivals, all without killing your self. This book has completely changed me as a person!!!! Ok, so that may be a little much, but it's is a ... good book, and anyone who is aspiring to make a film, or just wants to know how to get people naked in front of a camera for almost no $ should check it out. Thank you Lloyd for writing this gem!!!! BUY IT NOW!!! You won't be dissaponited! PS - did I mention that I was laughing out loud almost every page? It's really funny too, and even if your not into film it is a really entertaining book!

Summary: The Only Filmmaking Book Worth Reading!!
Comment: Every filmmaking class should have one required reading title only: "Make Your Own Damn Movie!" by Troma's Lloyd Kaufman. I learned more from this book than I ever could have from all of the filmmaking books that were thrown at me in college combined. Mr. Kaufman gives an honest, straightforward, and many times gritty introduction into the world of true independent filmmaking. The book tells it like it is, giving the reader exactly what they need to do in order to get their films made...even if what they need to do is not very pleasant...(which is more fun than pleasant methods, don't you think?)
Not only is Lloyd Kaufman the smartest, most original and true independent filmmaker around, he is also absolutely hilarious. Even if you are not a filmmaker, READ THIS BOOK! It's really funny and is great for anyone who enjoys movies, especially those of Troma.
And then after you read "Make Your Own Damn Movie!", read "All I Needed to Know about Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger" if you already haven't. It's also awesome!

Summary: Perversely Inspiring
Comment: Is this book funny? Sure, often hysterically. But it's much more -- Lloyd Kaufmann, perhaps the nastiest sweet man on the planet, reveals invaluble truths, secrets and techniques to indie filmmakers. Between the profane, self-immolating anecdotes, Kaufmann provides the skinny on surviving in the trenches of low/no budget moviemaking. Very few filmmaking books are by real filmmakers, and Kaufmann is a quirky, much underrated auteur with a style and vision that rivals John Waters (that the Troma guru's films are funny, entertaining and smart is often lost on critics and even viewers, caught up in his punk theatrics). Even if you have a real budget of several hundred thousand dollars or even a mil, Kaufmann has much to teach you, and -- between the laughs -- sobering truths to share. As an indie director myself, I wish I'd had this book to guide me on my first effort; and I still find it useful and perversely inspiring.
