Q&A: What are the best books to own as future screenwriter/filmmaker?

Question by Christina J: What are the best books to own as future screenwriter/filmmaker?
I am very very very naive but, perspective screenwriter/film maker and I am also interested in producing. I would like to know which books would be the best to buy on these topics (and maybe just the film industry in general). I know about absolutely nothing about making a film and a little on screenwriting.

I already own two books:

Short Films 101: How to Make a Short Film and Launch Your Filmmaking Career by Frederick Levy

What a Producer Does: The Art of Movie Making (Not the Business) by Buck Houghton

Thank you!

There are a lot of great resources out there for a beginner. The first thing I’d do is sign up for a free subscription to DV Magazine (www.dv.com). Some essential books would be:

Shot by Shot: by Steven Katz
Complete Guide to Low-Budget Feature Filmmaking: by Josh Decker
Screenwriter’s Workbook: Syd Field (any of his books on screenwriting are great)

There are tons more, but that should give you a decent start. Another great item if you have the money is the Digital Cinema Filmmaking Course DVDs. They give one of the most complete looks and guides to making a film from writing to post production.
