[ book tip by [ Medienkunst ] ] 'This hybrid book works exceptionally well on two levels: as a memoir of an artist and as a brass-tacks instruction manual. In her first book, co-written with film critic Edelstein, Vachon offers insights into her work on such indie films as Safe, I Shot Andy Warhol, and Velvet Goldmine and provides practical advice for aspiring film producers. Excerpts from her diary describe the myriad problems that crop up when shooting on a shoestring budget. But Vachon remains savvy and committed. Her tone is one of determination; in fact, she seems to relish her position away from the bright lights and high-stakes pressure of Hollywood.'
