Author Mallory O'Meara

Join us as we celebrate Mallory O'Meara's new book Girls Make Movies: A Follow-Your-Own-Path Guide for Aspiring Young Filmmakers! Join Mallory at The Frugal Frigate for a reading discussion, Q&A session, and book signing of her FIRST middle grade book!

Make your own movie from start to finish with this entertaining, practical choose-your-path nonfiction guide to the world of filmmaking, from the critically acclaimed author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon.

Girls belong in the world of filmmaking. While we see them acting on-screen, there are also countless women working every single job possible behind the scenes as part of the film's crew. Are you a girl who is interested in film making? Do you wonder how you actually make a movie? Well, this is the book for you.

Girls Make Movies puts you in the driver's seat as you create a fictitious zombie blockbuster and are guided through each stage of production and learn about the processes, techniques, and people involved in making a Hollywood hit. Luckily, every path through this nonfiction book results in the film being made, but you will be asked to make choices that will affect the outcome of the movie. Will you shoot on location or on a studio lot? Use practical or special effects? Hire a greensperson or a someone to do pyrotechnics? The choices are up to you!

Written by critically acclaimed author Mallory O'Meara and paired with eye-catching, graphic illustrations by popular comic book artist Jen Vaugh, this unique, practical book provides young girls with advice and inspiration while offering a sense of adventure as they learn how to create a movie!

 

Adults are already familiar with her other amazing titles such as Girly Drinks: A World History of Women and Alcohol and The Lady from the Black Lagoon (which we also carry in our section A Room of One's Own, and I'm sure she would be happy to sign copies of these for you, too!)
