"Producer/director Lloyd Kaufman, the Guru of Tromaville, unveils a five disc box set that tells you everything you want to know about making movies, and a whole lot more.

Some Satisfied and Inspired Consumers’ Responses!
Happy Holidays! More specifically, Happy Easter, I think I’ve found a new Easter Egg in my brand new copy of the "Make Your Own Damn Movie" box set.
Go to "Advice From the Masters On Filmmaking" selection, then put your pointer on "Slasher King H.G. Lewis’ Advice to Young Filmmakers", and then hit the Left direction key. I notice that the interview is essentially the same as the one you get if you select the "Slasher King…" selection, but on a different Title number.
And this box set is brilliant. I’ve decided to watch it straight through this first time, just to see what’s and who’s on it, then after this I will probably watching it by categories, starting with "CEL", then going to "$$$", etc. I’m now watching disc 3. I think it was a very good idea for you to include this one in the MYODM set, as this one is about you making your own damn movie, the one called "Citizen Toxie", and it will give those who have not yet bought "Citizen Toxie" insight into how you actually did it.

O.K I know this is weird, but I’m only 12 and I’ve read your new book and I’m just ya know kinda interested in making my own films in the big world. This Christmas in my stocking I received tons of candy and choclate, a couple DVD’s {Toxic avenger box-set included} and a copy of your book. The book was amazingly funny and very informative.
Really Mr.Kaufman I’d just like to say thank you for making such a good book, even better the Harry Potter.
P.S Toxic Avenger was good, make more movies!
