Here are things every fan filmmaker can use.

HOMEMADE HOLLYWOOD - The definitive history of fan films. We've been waiting our whole lives for this.

USING THE FORCE - Will Brooker's highly extensive text on Star Wars fans and their expressions of creativity. Fan films are discussed at length.

TEXTUAL POACHERS - Not really fan film related, but it's a detailed study of fan culture and what fans do to participate in their favorite television world. Fan media is discussed.

FAN CULTURES - Take one guess.

THE ADORING AUDIENCE - "Fan culture and popular media". Very academic essays from a variety of sources about the relationship between fan and media, including fan-produced media. Not for the fainthearted.

Buy the Star Wars movies themselves on DVD!

And then, of course, a few movies that are sort of like professional fan films. Yay!
