Description
The first, most crucial step in making a film is finding the funds to do it. Let Louise Levison, who wrote the innovative business
plan for "The Blair Witch Project," show you how. This unique guide teaches you not only how to create a business plan, but also how
to avoid common business plan mistakes, so that you can attract and secure an investor. In jargon-free terms, the author leads you through
every step. Each chapter concentrates on a different section of the business plan, including the industry, marketing, financing, and
distribution. Large format films, new media and shorts are also discussed. The included companion web site features supplementary exercises
and spreadsheets so that you get comfortable crunching the numbers--no math degree required!
The sixth edition contains completely
revised and updated industry data along with updated information on distribution including online and foreign markets. Plus, new interviews
and case studies with filmmakers will show you real-world examples of equity investors and markets.
