Girl Director: A How-to Guide for the First-Time, Flat-Broke Film and Video Maker

I am a writer, indie film director and an artist so this book was a joy to read and fun to look at. Ms. Richards has given the reader so much to learn from and information that isn't common knowledge. If you are thinking about making your first film and don't know how to do it - buy this book! Review written by the author of Bruised But Still Strong

From the point of a young high school aged aspiring filmaker- this book is a total success! It is perfect for any girl looking for fun on a rainy day or a film career in her future. Its full of creative, colorful, and informative pages that are bound to inspire any young Girl Director!!

Andrea does a great job of simplifiying the world of film making. A+!

FILLED with information and presented in a fun and entertaining book. Great interviews and profiles on women directors. The most interesting part to me is how much women were involved in the early days of film. As a filmmaker myself, I appreciate the "how to" details which are presented in an easy to understand manner. Great descriptions of all the basics of how to make your first film - or your second film. Photos and illustrations will help the kids enjoy it....

This book offers an entertaining look at the history of women making films (it's been happening longer than you think!), plus the inside scoop on being an all-in-one, movie-making machine. More than a how-to guide or a historical overview, Girl Director is fun to read, great as a gift, and a must-have for the bookshelf of anyone (of any age) who aspires or loves to make movies. From where to buy a camera or how to develop stories, to entering a film into a festival or finding out where some of our beloved female directors got there start, this handy book will take you there.
