Description
Today's film industry is a legal and financial obstacle course that independent filmmakers must learn to master. The most comprehensive guide to negotiating that obstacle course is this book, a high accessible overview of the industry's important business, legal and financial interests. Filled with industry-savvy advice, it clearly explains: raising financing; business structuring; securities laws; budgeting essentials; dealing with the guilds; loans; completion guarantees; distribution deals; calculating net profits; film-industry accounting practices and contingent payments; copyright, publicity and trademark laws; screen credits and talent demands; litigation problems; bankruptcy; taxation of film companies; Internet distribution of films; film-industry business jargon. New to this edition is an extensive and comprehensive updating of all chapters and the addition of a section about video on demand.
