This is THE Text on Documentary Filmmaking - By: , 02 Jul 1999
This is probably the best book on directing & producing a documentary film that I've come across.  A lot of books on filmmaking seem to be written by people who've never reallly made any films but can rehash what others have written on the subject & sell their advice.  Rabiger's text is different, this is a text written by a seasoned documentary filmmaker that makes every chapter an insightful & useful reading experience.  It may price a bit more than other documentary texts but it's worth the money spent in what you'll learn over the other books
A Documentary film makers Bible! - By: , 07 Feb 1999
This guide gives an excellent, step by step, overview of film making in general. It examines in detail the three stages of production & gives good examples of useful forms for the organization of production. The pre-production section was most valuable. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the making of documentary films.
Excellent general text on documentary making - By: , 14 Jan 1999
Although structured as a textbook, there is a great deal of advice & basic information for the independent filmmaker as well. Particularly helpful is advice on choosing a crew & on stages of post-production, that area filmmakers are most likely to underestimate in terms of time committment & importance!
