$30 Film School: How to Write, Direct, Produce, Shoot, Edit, Distribute, Tour With, and Sell Your Own No-Budget Digital Movie

It is influenced by punk rock's Do-it-Yourself spirit of just learning the basics and then jumping up on a stage and making a point; and by the American work ethic back when it was pure, before it became all about corporations crushing the little guy. Throw in the hacker idea that information wants to be free (or at least very cheap) and you have this essence of this book.
