  <description><![CDATA[In 25 years, Lloyd Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to legendary status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true independence, and the world greatest collection of camp. Now, Kaufman takes his independent studio style of filmmaking and puts it in the readers hands, showing them how to:Develop and write a knockout screenplay Raise funds for production Find locations and cast actors, hire crew, obtain equipment, permits, and music rights for little or no money Make incredible special effects for 79 cents Charm the people on the film festival circuit Make sure the drunken cameraman keeps the scene in focus Make a bad actor act so badly, theyre good.Kaufman has accumulated a remarkable list of credits, as well as a more extraordinary list of debits to loan sharks and pawn shops across New York.

    <![CDATA[In 25 years, Lloyd Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to legendary status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true independence, and the world greatest collection of camp. Now, Kaufman takes his independent studio style of filmmaking and puts it in the readers hands, showing them how to:Develop and write a knockout screenplay Raise funds for production Find locations and cast actors, hire crew, obtain equipment, permits, and music rights for little or no money Make incredible special effects for 79 cents Charm the people on the film festival circuit Make sure the drunken cameraman keeps the scene in focus Make a bad actor act so badly, theyre good.Kaufman has accumulated a remarkable list of credits, as well as a more extraordinary list of debits to loan sharks and pawn shops across New York. He also had the wisdom to reject Madonna after an audition.]]>
