How I wrote my first film book and hints and tips for filmmakers.

Here's the Facebook live video that I recorded last year to support the launch of my film book, "Shooting Better Movies: The Student Filmmakers' Guide". You can buy the book on Amazon by clicking this link: BUY SHOOTING BETTER MOVIES
In the video, I talk about how the book came about, how it got published and advice on how to write your own book, whatever the subject.
I also discuss the chapters and content in the book and go through each section as time-coded below.
