Well, not in the traditional sense. Lloyd Kaufman’s book Make Your Own Damn Movie! was the biggest help to me as a young filmmaker (It still is. When I made Addict, I utilized a lot of what I learned from that book.) Now, as reported by /Film, Kaufman has updated it and made a documentary called Direct Your Own Damn Movie!. And it’s free on Hulu.
I can’t wait to see this documentary. Lloyd is an incredible teacher, filled with over 40 years of experience making movies. His simple language and crass humor get his point across better than the droll rhetoric you’ll hear from most experienced filmmakers. Oh, and a word of warning for our international readers: You may not be able to see it because Hulu hates you. But that doesn’t mean you can’t buy his book.
