Description
Business Plans for Filmmakers by John W. Cones provides practical guidance for independent movie-makers and students navigating the complex intersection of law, business, and art when creating a business plan for a film venture. This book offers straightforward insight into key challenges, including evaluating the necessity for a business plan or securities disclosure document, and rendering financial projections. Cones addresses essential considerations before a film offering, such as revenue sharing, common elements of fraud to beware, and industry terms like "company financing" versus "project financing". He also provides in-depth guidance on investor analysis and strategies for finding and attracting parties interested in financing film. With clear and thorough detail, Cones helps filmmakers and students create effective business plans that can fund the development, production, and distribution phases of a film.
