The Portable Film School

“A crash course in a film-school eduction. . . . Rated 'R' for required reading.” —Sheldon Woodbury, award-winning screenwriter

The Portable Film School is a private tutorial from an instructor at one of the nation's most prestigious film schools. D.B. Gilles explains the fundamental skills and techniques of screenwriting and making a short film arming you with the two calling cards you'll need to break into Hollywood—without having spent the tuition or a minute in a classroom.

“A wonderful on-paper process that shows you how to write screenplays and make both short and long films. Ideal for anyone who doesn't go to film school.” —Lew Hunter, screenwriter and author of Lew Hunter's Screenwriting 434

“Not only is The Portable Film School loaded with pertinent and valuable information told in an easy-to-absorb style, but also it's truly enjoyable and fun to be in his 'class.' This instructor deserves high marks himself.” —Rick Rosenberg, Emmy and Peabody award–winning producer
