 Independent Film Alliance interviews Dennis about his film All Roads Lead Home and other hot topics in the independent film world.
<<Dennis Fallon is no stranger to the movie business. As an independent film producer, Fallon has made a range of films from 2000’s family movie More Than Puppy Love, with Diane Ladd (which sells five thousand boxes a week at Wal-Mart), to 2002’s Threat of Exposure, a thriller starring Sean Young and William Devane.
“Nobody is going to give it the passion and the effort to make it be the story that it needs to be, so I had to do it“ But it wasn’t until the script of his latest film, (working title) Shadows of Atticus, had passed before him that Fallon decided to take the helm as a first-time director. “When we were putting together this film, it was really the people around me who said there is only one person to direct this film and that’s you,” says Fallon.

What other film professionals are saying about this book: |
"Finally, a book that will actually tell you not only how to make a film but what you do both before and after the process of actually shooting it. This is a must have resource to carry with you in this rapidly evolving environment of film making. It is also and in depth look that tells it like it is, which may help separate those who love watching movies and those who have no other choice but to follow this path of actually creating movies and all the hardship and reward that comes from such pursuits."

This book stands far and away above the rest. It is full of indispensable real world facts and information that one very rarely comes across. A must have for any filmmaker!"
