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.
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.
Filmmakers and Financing: Business Plans for Independents, Fourth Edition

A decent book into the ins & outs of film making from the production side of the house. Though not 100% comprehensive it makes an excellent addition to a production library.
This is a must have for any and all independent filmmakers!!

I found the book to be perfect in describing how to set up an independent film company. The Sample Business Plan for a Fictional Company (in the Appendix) is written in plain english which made it easy to see how one could put together their own thorough business plan. I definetely enjoyed the book and am working on my business plan for my independent film company as I type this.
