Amy Sewell — Advance Uncorrected Proofs — Hyperion, 2007
Amy Sewell was a stay-at-home mother of twins with no filmmaking experience when she made and sold Mad Hot Ballroom, one of the highest-grossing documentaries of its era. This memoir walks through the entire independent filmmaking journey — from concept and fundraising through hiring a crew, shooting, postproduction, and the film festival circuit — with practical guidance for aspiring documentarians alongside Sewell's personal account of the process. Praised by Michael Moore as "one of the best documentaries of the decade," the book pairs behind-the-scenes storytelling with genuinely useful how-to material.
