Informative

Good approach to direct questions Indie filmmakers have about financing. Enjoyed reading it thoroughly and tagged several sections for constant review.

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...

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.

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.
