Shooting to Kill

The New York Times dubbed indie producer Christine Vachon (Kids, Safe, I Shot Andy Warhol, Velvet Goldmine) the godmother of the politically committed film." This book, co-authored by film critic David Edelstein, offers 15 years of practical advice for aspiring film producers as well as real journal excerpts chronicling the problems that arise when shooting on a shoestring budget. Part memoir, part instruction manual, Shooting to Kill features frank commentary on story pitches, script development, casting, location scouting, editing and distribution, plus loads of rare photos.
