Filmmaking magazine MovieMaker launches DIY horror e-Book
So, you wanna make scary movies for a livin’, do ya kid? Great news, but how are you going to turn that fanciful whim into a serious, functioning reality.
Well, you could spend untold amounts of money and enroll is some sort of film school, where you can sit in a classroom and listen to a bunch of ding dongs teach you things out of textbooks. Or you could simply drop a few dollars – $2.99 U.S. to be exact – and buy venerable filmmaking periodical MovieMaker’s 2017 “Guide to Making Horror Movies” e-Book, a star-studded and totally practical how-to guide written by and profiling some of cinema’s hardest working legends and upstarts, offering invaluable advice on how to not only enter the filmmaking fray, but to survive and thrive within it.
The 2nd annual e-Book – which is guest edited by the great Ti West – was just released over the weekend and is dedicated to independent filmmaking in the horror genre, featuring killer how-to articles and interviews with the likes of West, Larry Fessenden, Eduardo Sanchez, Simon Barrett, John Carpenter and more.
The e-book also features how-to articles by STYD editor and filmmaker Chris Alexander (on how to run a genre media empire without burning out); Izzy Lee (on how to mobilize the horror press to promote your indie feature); a meaty excerpt from Kier-La Janisse’s House of Psychotic Women; and an in-depth look at the creative, financial and networking benefits of the horror anthology model featuring interviews with ABCs of Death producer Tim League and V/H/S/Southbound producer Brad Miska.
To call it an essential tool of your future trade is an understatement. And even if you’re not interested in becoming a filmmaker, buy it for the lad or lady in your life who is.
You can read a sample from the book here, written by Ti West and purchase the entire e-Book now via Amazon.
