“Filmmakers have always been devising new and creative ways to get their films made. Gaspard puts many of these stories in wonderful context that not only provides for entertaining reading, but gives the emerging filmmaker a valuable reference to live by. An insightful and enlightening read that reaffirms the old saying, ‘Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’”
