The Beginning Filmmaker's Business Guide: Financial, Legal, Marketing, and Distribution Basics of Making Movies

Rating:
Summary: A good place to start your movie business education.
Review: Renee Harmon's book is based on her more than 10 years first hand experience in the independant movie making business. She provides a wealth of excellent advice on everything from story rights, script development, and production to financing, marketing, and distribution, including a section on video marketing. Unfortunately, the book is four years old and seems out of date on many aspects. The details should not be taken for gospel. Check your facts, especially those concerning addresses, phone numbers, wages, salaries, and legal matters. Things change. Despite this, the book is a very good primer for anyone serious about the movie making business.
