A master class bridging the gap between school and real-life experience that will save you years of heartache. A must-read for anyone interested in pursuing a career in film.'

Neal H. Moritz, Producer (Fast & Furious, S.W.A.T., 21 and 22 Jump Street)

Shane knows how to deliver a quality production, puts it all on the screen - and without compromise. His step-by-step guide is a must-read for anyone hoping to break into the world of independent cinema along with many useful tips for those who desire to work within a studio or network system.'
