One of Hollywood's highly respected producers offers a tour de force guide to the often neglected areas of movie production - the creative concerns, not the fund-raising aspects outlined in numerous other publications.
Houghton's guidelines on choosing stories and rendering stories into screenplays are invaluable, as are his insights into the whole of the moviemaking process - preproduction, production, and postproduction. Here are the nuts-and-bolts issues that must be understood by all filmmakers and so often evade newcomers to the business. Reading this book should be the first step that any prospective producer takes.
