  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;Less than a decade since they began working in the movies, Mark and Michael Polish have established themselves as critically acclaimed, award-winning independent filmmakers. Their innovative approach to art direction, use of digital photography, and ability to attract stellar talent to their modestly budgeted films sprang from necessity; now these aesthetics have become admired trademarks of their work. &lt;br&gt;	Infused with this same balance of artistic integrity and popular appeal, &lt;i&gt;The Declaration of Independent Filmmaking&lt;/i&gt; is a practical guide to writing, shooting, editing, scoring, promoting, and distributing short and feature films. Mark and Michael have packed this book with star-studded, often hilarious tales from their own experiences--as well as helpful insider photos. This is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in filmmaking, whether a high school student with a $500 budget or a serious filmmaker looking for a fresh approach. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A Harvest Original&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[So-so.  A few interesting tidbits, a wonderful sense of invitation from the author-filmmakers, but not enough impact on me, in the end.  Perhaps because the book is geared slightly toward more of a newcomer to film production -- and for them, probably, it would be a much more interesting read.
