  • Great Read!

    Great insight with plenty of helpful hints for the newbie filmmaker, and more than a few for those in the biz a while. The chapter dealing with the free society approach has not been published anywhere else that I have seen. A definite must read for anyone in the film industry. My filmmaker daughter can now write and shoot a more distributable film while staying true to her artistic side.

  • They point the way to a new way of doing things!

    Filmmakers no longer need to be beholden to distributors and sales agents stuck in antiquated thinking and old distribution models. With in depth case studies and clear, precise analysis, this book points the way for filmmakers to take control of their projects and their careers by bringing their work directly to an audience. No longer do we need to look to distributors as the gate keepers to getting a movie in front of an audience. A filmmaker now has the tools to not only distribute their movies themselves but, more importantly, to build an loyal audience that is going follow a filmmaker throughout their career. The information in this book in invaluable and inspiring. I could not recommend enough. It is a must for any aspiring filmmaker.
