From Publishers Weekly
This trio of award-winning independent film actors-writers-directors-producers reveal how their desire to make movies that fulfilled their vision led them to create a rigorous, economical regimen that, for those "willing to forego a visit to the dentist so they can instead buy film stock," and who aren't well-versed in the technical and logistical aspects of film-making, is well worth the book's cover price. Drawing on their experiences making three feature films (Twin Falls Idaho is perhaps the best known), the Polish brothers walk would-be filmmakers step-by-step from script-writing to post-production to distribution, with an explanation of each part of the process. The amount of detail packed into short chapters (particularly the chapters on directing and editing) is impressive, and informative sidebars and anecdotes about actors like James Woods and Nick Nolte complement the text's how-to aspects. With their wise and simple advice, the Polish brothers and their co-author, Sheldon, have done aspiring filmmakers (but not their dentists) a great favor. Photos.

Review
PRAISE FOR THE POLISH BROTHERS' NORTHFORK
"Another masterpiece . . . After Twin Falls, Idaho, here's more evidence that the Polish twins are the real thing."--Roger Ebert, Chicago Tribune
PRAISE FOR THE POLISH BROTHERS' TWIN FALLS, IDAHO
"Eerily effective . . . Twin Falls, Idaho has style, gravity, and originality to spare."--The New York Times
From the Back Cover
"The Declaration of Independent Filmmaking is a well-organized, often hilarious guide for any first-time filmmaker's journey through the perilous and unpredictable world of independent filmmaking. By tracking the process of their films, from an idea's infancy to its realization in a distribution deal, the Polish Brothers take their unique and pragmatic methods and break them down into an easy how-to chronicle. Their determination, vision, and enthusiasm are evident both on screen and in writing. Their love of the process, the most important part of successful filmmaking, is inspiring."--Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner and Gladiator
"Like their movies, the Polish Brothers' book is funny, insightful, delightful, odd, smart, and full of good ideas and truths. It's completely accessible for the absolute novice, and yet will still be helpful to those who have some experience (after making six films, I still learned a thing or two). I certainly plan to recommend it when I teach or mentor young filmmakers."--Keith Gordon, director of A Midnight Clear, Waking the Dead, and Mother Night
"All do-it-yourself filmmakers must experience their own blood, sweat, and fears. But everything else to be learned from the independent adventure can be found in this priceless and entertaining guide. Tried, true, and terrific, it's like having your most credible filmmaking friends offer their shoulders to stand on. This book is an invaluable public service to would-be celluloid dreamers and schemers everywhere. Read it. It's your inalienable right."--Alan Rudolph, director of Afterglow and Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
Mark and Michael Polish have written, produced, and directed three feature films: Twin Falls Idaho, Jackpot, and Northfork. Their filmmaking awards and citations include the John Cassavetes Award at the 2002 Independent Spirit Awards and a 2001 Seattle International Film Festival New American Cinema Award. Their films have collectively been nominated for five Independent Spirit Awards. They both live in the Los Angeles area.
Jonathan Sheldon was an associate producer on Northfork and was named head of development for the Polish Brothers' production company. He lives in Los Angeles.

The Ultimate Guide!
By Turge
I've read both Robert Rodriguez's "Rebel Without a Crew" and John Pierson's "Spike, Mike, Slackers, & Dykes" and they don't come close to the level of detail I found in this book. (And I'm not just saying this because I love their films.) It's everything you need to know about getting a production going, and, thank God, it blows away the notion of screen writing as a 'get rich quick scheme'. This book doesn't teach you how to be a 'player' in 'the biz', it shows you how to make the kind of films you can be proud of, the kind of films people used to make before big money took over (and ruined) Hollywood. It's clear, it's concise, and these guys have the experience to back it up.

Very practical, smart, and compact guide to making indies
By Judge Knott
Briefly, this book rocks. It's a fascinating combination: three indie filmmakers tell their rise-to-triumph story, while simultaneously teaching you how to make an indie, while simultaneously teaching you tons of industry jargon, while simultaneously passing on some really neat anecdotes mined from their careers.
Although this is NOT AT ALL the goal of the book, if you were to read this guide carefully on a Thursday and take good notes, you could then waltz into a party on a Friday and convince most people there that you were an independent filmmaker.
I hope to make an indie myself, and I will treasure this guide and put it to use. I recommend it highly!

Very entertaining and informative, a good read.
By Michael Beverly
First off I'd like to say that the anecdotal stories and real life experiences made this book a great read, even for someone only mildly interested in the business and art of film making. For anyone that is serious about independent film this book is a must read, not reading a book of this caliber would be plain ignorance on the part of would be film makers or film students.
It's interesting to me how many people invest in stocks and don't read books on investing, or play serious poker and don't read books on poker, I'm always amazed at the arrogance of people that think they don't need help or advice. There are many great "how to" books on the market, some good, some not so great. I don't have experience in the film making business, but I do recognize the sound of an honest voice trying to be helpful and sincere. I think this book has that quality.
I really enjoyed the stories, some of the technical stuff was a bit over my head, but I think I learned a lot, and I love to learn, so I'd recommend the book to beginners for that quality too. Looking for a critique of the book, I'd say I wished there were more details on the money side of things. They mention how expensive it can be to buy the rights to music, but don't say how expensive. Is it five thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars or what? Obviously it depends on the song, but they don't give any numbers, so I felt left out of the process in this part of the reading.
I don't know if they were under contractual obligation to refrain from writing about the dollar amounts involved in deals, deals with their actors, deals with the studios, etc., but I think if they could have included a bit more of this information, it would have made the book better.
All said, I'm giving this book a strong recommendation to any interested in this field. I struggled for a moment about whether it should be a five or four star rating, I think I'd rather give it four and half stars, I wish there were some areas they'd gone into more detail. But all in all it's a really good book and belongs in the collection of all young would be film makers.
