Description: A nuts-and-bolts guide to independent filmmaking that reads like a rollicking adventure story.

Hailed by the New York Times as the "godmother to the politically committed film" and by Interview as a true "auteur producer", Christine Vachon has made her name with such bold, controversial, and commercially successful films as "Poison", "Kids", "Safe", and "I Shot Andy Warhol". So what does a producer do? "What don't they do?" she responds. "Basically, a low-budget film is a crisis waiting to happen". In this witty and straight-shooting guide, Vachon addresses everything from nurturing a director's vision, cobbling together a budget, and drafting talent to holding hands, stroking egos, stretching every resource to the limit, and pushing that limit. Marked by practical insights, creative strategies, and useful resources gleaned from a decade of experience, "Shooting To Kill" also offers all the satisfactions of an intimate memoir from the frontlines of independent filmmaking.
