Praise for the Fast, Cheap and Written That Way:
"I wish I'd read this book before I made Re-Animator."
Stuart Gordon, Director, Re-Animator, Castle Freak, From Beyond
"A perfect read for anyone who wants to write a film script or for anyone who just enjoys watching movies."
Fred Willard, Actor, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman
"This volume is full of useful little nuggets of information and, as you might expect from a book of interviews with writers, many of the views expressed are completely contradictory. Pick and choose what works for you."
Jonathan Lynn, Director, My Cousin Vinny, Clue, Nuns on the Run, The Whole Nine Yards
"John Gaspard has gathered the perfect mix of filmmakers, each of whom brings something vital to the party. This is one of those books you wish you'd read before you made your last film. Fortunately, you can read it before your next."
Jeffrey Hatcher, Screenwriter, Mr. Holmes, Stage Beauty, Casanova
"A well-researched must-read for new screenwriters and filmmakers."
D.B. Gilles, Author, The Screenwriter Within

About the Author
He also writes the Como Lake Players mystery series, under the pen name Bobbie Raymond.
In real life, John's not a magician, but he has directed six low-budget features that cost very little and made even less - that's no small trick. He's also written multiple books on the subject of low-budget filmmaking. Ironically, they've made more than the films.
Those books ("Fast, Cheap and Under Control" and "Fast, Cheap and Written That Way") are available in eBook, Paperback and audiobook formats.
John lives in Minnesota and shares his home with his lovely wife, several dogs, a few cats and a handful of pet allergies.
