Shoot Me

Independent Filmmaking from Creative Concept to Rousing Release

By: Roy Frumkes,Rocco Simonelli

When the script says "shoot me" and Hollywood says no, your only alternative is to raise the money and do it yourself. Here's how screenwriters Roy Frumkes and Rocco Simonelli used digital video to do just that. Witty, original, and ruthlessly on the mark, this unvarnished look at independent film-making chronicles both the creative intricacies of collaboration and the tricks of staying in budget and out of court. The authors compare notes as they describe the entire film-making process, with coverage including: * Targeting the audience for the script and tailoring the script for the audience * Raising money: your friends, your family, and the millionaire next door * Casting: names, no-names, and personality nightmares * Locations: finding them, securing them, and sometimes even stealing them * Producing: creating a budget, scheduling the shoot, and dealing with unions * Directing: working with actors and protecting your vision * Editing: or dropping that scene you thought was a gem * Celebrating, publicizing, and distributing the finished product

Hitchcocked

By: Hal Spear,Rocco Simonelli

Comedy, romance, and adventure collide when germ-phobic film professor B.B. Marlowe comes to the rescue of his brightest student, Denise Brigham, and ends up caught in a treacherous plot involving terrorists and the U.S. government. After Marlowe is caught on video supposedly killing a man, Denise and Marlowe have no choice but to flee Washington D.C. and embark on a voyage fraught with danger and peril. And when Marlowe discovers just what Denise is involved with-her father is a Secret Service agent who has mysteriously disappeared-he realizes his life might very well be on the line. Racing across the country with police and deadly assassins on their tail, it's only by using their vast knowledge of Hollywood movies that the two are able to remain a step ahead of their pursuers. The journey takes them from a violent confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to a breathless climax atop the faux Manhattan skyline of the New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas, where love may help Marlowe conquer all-if it doesn't get him killed first. Brimming with suspense and action, Hitchcocked is a non-stop thrill ride from talented Hollywood insiders Hal Spear and Rocco Simonelli. AUTHOR BIO Hal Spear is a talented writer and stand-up comedian who has created material for many noted comedians, including Jay Leno, Drew Carey, and Howie Mandel.
