5 Stars – “Fabulous job A++++!!! 2 thumbs up for this one!!!!!”
5 Stars – “Finally, a helpful article that includes a memorable example instead of just basic guidelines! There are far too many simplistic books and dvds out there that
don't go beyond generalizations. This had a powerful excerpt that really drove the point home!”
5 Stars – “Very precise...5*.gr8 info."
IndieFlix.com:
“After viewing this documentary, I felt like I had been given a lot more than 90 minutes of information. There is plenty of material here to warrant repeated viewings;
something that is not so common in many interviews or docs these days. Hoffman's anecdotes about his career are interesting and sometimes downright hilarious! The
way Bennett chose to include clips of Hoffman's works into his film making advice was cleverly done.”
DemandStudios.com:
“This is FANTASTIC advice and an amazing piece! The advice that this filmmaker David Hoffman gives for prepping your subject is perfect...”

“A fire can put a man out but it did not put him under.
Where I keep my things after my fire.
Fire be not proud.
My hideaway room
Where my burned-out things are kept.
How I survived my fire.
Fire destroyed his house - but not his creative spirit.
Fire things.”
- Documentary Filmmaker, David Hoffman |
