Books & articles by LSD:
The Business of Documentary Filmmaking

By Claudia Babirat and Lloyd Spencer Davis, this is really a handbook for how aspiring documentary filmmakers can best set themselves up in business. However, it is more than just a practical "how-to" guide: it contains anecdotes and insights about the filmmaking industry, particularly in New Zealand, that help make it an interesting read even for the non-filmmaker.

Published by Longacre Press, the book was launched in late February 2008. Claudia was LSD's graduate student and the bulk of the work on the book was completed as part of her
Master of Science Communication (MSciComm) degree from the University of Otago.

"This is an absolute must read for anyone entering the industry – an outstanding book."

Michael Stedman, Managing Director, NHNZ
