To Boldly Go: A Starters Guide to Hand Made and DIY Films (2008)

“This is a booklet for both those eager to begin in hand made film and those who already started but are keen to know more. It signifies a hope and commitment to making sure these techniques, tricks and handy tips remain openly available to all who might need them. Let’s not keep any secrets! These (chemical) receipts, printing processes, after dev. Effects, emulsion extras and celluloid experiments should be absolutely public.

Let’s make hand-made d-i-y films! Let’s make a lot! Images and texts have been gathered, harvested, illegally used, replenished and inspired by a plethora of found sources including those of David Leister, Greg Pope, Dirk De Bruyn, Maia Cybelle Carpenter, Frank Bruinsma, Steve Sanguedolce, Rebecca Moran, Jurgen Reble, Ben Russell, Jeff Scher and many many others.” (from the introduction)
