The Total FilmMaker

This classic 1971 book The Total FilmMaker was originally written based on 480 hours of Jerry Lewis’ lectures at the University of Southern California School of Cinema. His then-students included aspiring young filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. From script to postproduction, it covers the complete arc of filmmaking as taught by one of the first and most original writer/director/producer/actors in Hollywood.

Now, fifty years later, the Jerry lewis estate and MWP are teaming up to release this classic book to the world.
