 Rating: - Should Be Used As A TextbookI purchased this expecting some advice on legal issues, but this book is so much more. It talks you through the whole process of producing a film from start to finish, including valuable information on finding investors, attaching stars, behind the scene terminology, production advice, sample legal forms and what do with your film once you've made a cut. All of the advice is indispensable. This is a must have for any independent film producer, especially those new to the industry. It should be ... Read More Rating: - IndispensableI highly recommend this book. As a first time amateur independent film producer, with about 30 film books resting on my shelf, I believe I was constantly thumbing through this one the most during preproduction.

Topics of interest that are covered in depth include standard talent and producer agreements, developing a screen play, financing, and digital distribution. The ...

The authors are lawyers, not producers. Rating: - Excellent book - idiotic titleThis book is a serious but very readable approach to educating filmmakers on the maze of legal hoops that must be jumped through in order to create a film. Indispensable resource to have. |
