"Like any good survivalist, Kelley Baker doesn't beat around the bush … His 12 chapter Survival Guide is a compact, no-holds-barred 12-step program to creating what Baker calls "The Extreme No-Budget Film." Baker is on fire about making films. You will be too after reading this brutally honest compilation of personal stories and practical advice from the front lines of independent filmmaking."

Excerpt
I am the poster boy for bad decision making in the Independent Film world!
I have made eight short films, three features and a couple of documentaries, along with a ton of corporate videos, and commercials. I have whored myself on other people's movies for the last 20+ years. There are certain truths I have learned, and certain things and people I shouldn't have listened to. I have messed up my life financially, emotionally, and probably physically and it's all been for my love of movies. My movies.
"Angry or not, Kelley Baker knows his stuff, and he tells it all in this book that's part indie film war story, part instructional manual for true independents, and part furious rant. It's always entertaining, and it might just tick you off, but – most important – the advice contained within these pages will help you get your film made…
Chris Hansen
Writer and Director “The Proper Care and Feeding of an American Messiah.”
Excerpt
Too many people finance their films on credit cards, and they go broke! Their films end up not getting a distributor and they're left paying 30% interest on a film that no one wants. Heed the words of noted financial consultant and former NBA player, Charles Barkley, "Credit cards exist to keep poor people poor."
DON'T USE YOUR DAMN CREDIT CARDS FOR ANYTHING!!!
Does that mean I've never funded something with credit cards? Yes! And I have lived to regret it.
"Kelley Baker is the genuine article, a skilled craftsman and a passionate artist who is committed to sharing his love of true and independent film to whoever is lucky enough to cross his path, he is to be listened to"

Indie Producer, Founder of The Indy Film Co-op and fan of Kelley's
