    I am going to make this book my Bible while I make my next feature film.
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2014*

I have read over 150 books on film making and the best one on writing a screen play, in my humble opinion, is "Story" by Robert McKee and the best book on directing is "Directing Actors" by Judith Weston. The best book on giving you the up to date story on making your film from the trenches is "Secrets of Breaking into the Film & TV Business" by Dean Silvers. Dean doesn't hit you over the head with information. He gives you advice in a nonchalant way, like a longtime friend, but you better take it like a smack to the head because if you don't and you are in the trenches yourself, you will have those big bad regrets. I have been in the trenches with one full length feature and a few shorts. Last year one of our short films was accepted at the Cannes Film Festival, so I have seen the trenches enough to know a little bit about what to expect. Everything that I have gone through, was spot on in his book, but the most important thing for me was what I learned that I didn't know before I read the book, so even though I knew something, Dean gave me much more needed ammunition to conquer all the mountains between being one of the thousands of filmmakers who are not making it to being one of the few at the top. We have a finished script for what we hope to be our breakthrough full length feature film, as we make it, Dean's book will be referred to many times.

    A Fun Read Incorporates Modern Film and Marketing Techniques.  We're Using It!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2015*

Of course, you can't really tell if a "how to" book is great until you see if the advice works for you.  But Mr. Silvers lays out an approach that matches with modern film methods and marketing techniques.  It made a great deal of sense to our screenwriting team.  We are basing our plans going forward on the content of Secrets of Breaking into the Film & TV Business.  The book is allowing us to lay out strategies and guiding us in developing our narrative.  The book was a "page turner" too.  The anecdotes made it an entertaining read that the reader can move through quickly.  I really liked having it on my mobile Kindle reader so I could highlight the points to go back to for planning purposes and find them easily.  Thanks, Dean.

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2018*

Dean shares his experiences to guide the reader through the process of creating a film. In an industry with so many electric gates guarding the way, Dean advises his reader to make it happen and after reading I certainly believe this is possible. His upbeat and encouraging voice will empower any creative regardless of medium. While providing the nuts and bolts, the book entertains as well with quips and anecdotes. I plan to keep this book nearby as I set out on creating my first short and embarking on my film career.
