Filmmakers and Financing: Business Plans for Independents (American Film Market Presents) | |
The first, most crucial step in making a film is finding the funds to do it. Let Louise Levison, who wrote the innovative business plan for "The Blair Witch Project," show you how. This unique guide teaches you not only how to create a business plan, but also how to avoid common business plan mistakes, so that you can attract and secure an investor. In jargon-free terms, the author leads you through every step. Each chapter concentrates on a different section of the business plan, including the industry, marketing, financing, and distribution. Large format films, new media and shorts are also discussed. The included companion web site features supplementary exercises and spreadsheets so that you get comfortable crunching the numbers--no math degree required!
The sixth edition contains completely revised and updated industry data along with updated information on distribution including online and foreign markets. Plus, new interviews and case studies with filmmakers will show you real-world examples of equity investors and markets.

It should deserve no star at all. Boring, terribly written. Louise Levison repeats herself on and on, she drags you on... and on, with useless and distracting examples, constantly highlights oblivious facts by using fear and disproportions. it's just filled up with cliché, and it clearly a hardcore conservatism bias. Basically, if you have NO IDEA how a movie is produced, and how finance function, you may then want to know more, and will find this book horribly boring and repetitive, but you may learn a few useless things as well that may give you the summary of what a business plan. Because that is all a business plan, a summary, which you fill with your own plan. This book will not help anyone rise funds. I regret spending money and time reading this crap.
The book is empty. It's void. It could be summed up in 5 pages. It's a dishonest and deceptive attempt at taking money from readers.
BUY THIS BOOK. If you are an independent filmmaker and want to learn about film financing from a truly accomplished expert, then by all means, purchase this book and every new edition that comes out.
Louise is a fantastic mentor and her book has become a mainstay... I had the opportunity to attend two workshops featuring her, as well as a private consultation and she is definitely an experienced, grounded voice in the field of film finance.
Her book clearly lays out everything you need to know about writing a business plan for your independent feature film and it provides clear examples and reasoning for why things are done the way they're done.
By all means, this is a MUST-READ for every independent director, producer and filmmaker.
"Filmmakers and Financing..." is pretty good at helping you piece together a business plan for making a film (or creating a production company) and is better than a lot of the material on the web related to general business plans because it deals with issues specific to films and the filmmaking business. On the other hand, another reviewer has suggested that the book wasn't specific enough and that the example "fictional" business plan didn't seem to have enough substance. I agree with that comment. The author, who helped the "The Blair Witch Project" folks with their business plan, could have suggested some real-life examples (tough to walk the fine line drawn by naturally protected "proprietary information"). It's nice to see what a multi-million dollar production company business might look like, but I have to say that if I'm going to handle that kind of money, I'm probably going to retain a consultant to help prepare my business plan--maybe even the author! It's a good review of things you should know. Glad I read it. I think I'll pass it along to the next person.
Another excellent source of info for film financing. Easy to understand and insightful
lots of info with little self-promotion. Lots of contacts that are useful immediately, but more important to me, it shifted my thinking to a more wholelistic approach
