blurb:

a book about making films without pretending the “industry” is the only room available.

Have you got $4.20 and headlice? Addiction issues you want solved by concentrated work? A crippling need for attention? Learn by reading and working through our new disarmingly frank handbook EYES WIDE OPEN and craft your own cinema situation. Using principles of distributed cognition, talking to strangers, event planning, and audio-visual dieting we present to you an amalgamation of practiced techniques from years of radio interviews and failing-forward independent filmmaking to get you into the comfiest shoes you own to make posture-forward photegenic films. No firearms permitted, unless you’re shooting a movie.
