Informative Good approach to direct questions Indie filmmakers have about financing. Enjoyed reading it thoroughly and tagged several sections for constant review. | ||
Great book for people who want to know I am very happy to get this book in my hands. I am from SouthEastern Europe, so production here is still something that isn't taken so seriously. I've learned so much from this book, and i think that it could be said that every producer should have one copy of this book on desk. | ||
Business Plan... I have been working on a business plan for well over a year. I was so frustrated. My business partner suggested we buy this book. We ended up finishing the plan in a few weeks... Her book is amazingly helpful. I look forward to updating this review once we receive the funds!! Thanks for writing it and helping fellow filmmakers... | ||
useful I'm very happy with that book, which is specialized but quite acessible for people with a genuine interst in the matter and who want to understand the how and why. It is concise and complete, and raises your interest. | ||
This book is useless This book is useless. I am an independent producer, and I found out the hard way that no financier wants to look at a business plan. If they are in the business they want to see a script and maybe, a budget. If they are not in the business, they want to see LLC documents. See The Biz, Schuyler M.
