Book Description

The first, most crucial step in making a film is finding the funds to do it, yet many independent filmmakers skip this step and "finance" the production on their credit cards. The smarter ones turn to this popular guide. By the guru who developed the business plan for the indie runaway success, The Blair Witch Project, this book teaches filmmakers how to create a successful business plan for potential investors. Each chapter concentrates on a different section of the business plan, so filmmakers can create a convincing marketing, financing, and distribution plan to win over investors and finance their dream.
