About this title

Synopsis

So, you’ve got a script. Or an idea. Or a blurry dream on the back of a napkin.

Now what?

This book isn’t here to romanticise filmmaking. It’s here to help you survive it.

Whether you’re directing your first short or producing a feature with three locations and zero budget, How Not to F* Up Your Film gives you the unfiltered, practical roadmap they don’t teach you in film school.

You’ll learn:

• How to get from logline to locked picture without losing your mind

• What actually matters in development, prep, and production

• How to build a team, lead a set, and finish like a pro

• What to do when everything goes wrong (because it will)

• And how to take your film to festivals, distributors, and audiences that care

Written by award-winning filmmaker Adolf El Assal, this book pulls no punches. It’s sharp, honest, and filled with the kind of advice you’d only get over late-night drinks after wrap.

If you’re serious about making a film—and not just dreaming about it—this is your field guide.
