Filmmaking Book

Dear Reader,

Anyone who knows the three of us knows that we've been film nuts for all our combined years. We rabidly discuss any and all things movie-related, and are, in fact, so completely full of useless trivia that it's frightening. Our typical conversations begin with You remember that one flick we saw where the guy was crawling under that place and he found that thing? Who was the guy who was crawling behind him?

No matter the extent of our trivia overload, we are and will always be huge fans of all things shown on the silver screen. Our admiration of celluloid extends to everyone in the film industry, from writers and directors to producers and technicians. We marvel at the innovative methods these hardworking folks employ, and applaud their tenacity in constantly reinventing ways for us to see the world with better eyes. For that, we thank them and everyone who has made or will someday grace us with their own movie masterpiece.
