[Filmfestivalresearch] Suggestions for Textbooks for Film Festival Culture --Sundance

[Greg DeCuir]

Dear Dawn:

One of my favorite books ever written about filmmaking is "Rebel Without a Crew" by Robert Rodriguez. There are mountains of information in that book, particularly about the Sundance experience (from the very golden age of Sundance), independent filmmaking, studio filmmaking, and everything in between. For history, culture, and process, I think it serves well.

Best regards,

Dawn: The Film Festival Yearbooks from St. Andrews Press are indispensible
in this regard.
