$30 Film School, Second Edition
Filmmaking is entering a new era. Mini-DV filmmaking is the new folk music, the new punk rock, the new medium in which anyone can tell their story. "$30 Dollar Film School, Second Edition" is an alternative to spending four years and a hundred-thousand dollars to learn the filmmaking trade. 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 essence of the American work ethic. This new edition of the bestselling title includes new, improved, and updated chapters on video and audio editing, plus a companion DVD-Rom loaded with movies, shorts, and trailers from "graduates" of the first edition.

$30 Music School
The author has actually proven the theories in the book himself. He is a starving artist and musician with a punk rock ethic who has a band, tours with it, and is making a living off of it. $30 Music School is a quick-start course on how to jump into making music, get it heard worldwide, make a living, and not compromise to the whims of the entertainment industry. This is a book for more realistic people: musicians who are artists, who make good music, and want to get their music out to the world, but don’t necessarily have to sell ten million copies to validate themselves. Packed with interviews from insightful, influential, and inspiring independent musicians, such as Henry Rollins, this book is an inspiration and motivational piece of work. A multimedia CD-ROM comes with the book and contains examples of the author’s music, music videos, electronic press kits, etc.
