1: Filmmakers and Financing Covers the Bases
When settling down with my attorney about creating a business structure and investment documents for my first indie feature film he asked me if I had a business plan. My answer was, "I haven't even thought about it." Movie production is a business and should be treated as such. A business plan is a roadmap for how you plan to create a movie that can return a profit to the investors. I've written several business plans for businesses outside of the entertainment industry, but show business has it's own set of performance metrics that Louise covers well in her book. Investors look for and expect a business plan, especially those who have not invested in films before. The CD is a bit disappointing in content. It would be nice to have several premade templates to get the ball rolling.

2: Informative
Good approach to direct questions Indie filmmakers have about financing. Enjoyed reading it thoroughly and tagged several sections for constant review.

3: 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.

4: Business Plan...
I have been working on a business plan for well over a year. I was so frustrated. My business partner suggested we buy this book. We ended up finishing the plan in a few weeks... Her book is amazingly helpful. I look forward to updating this review once we receive the funds!! Thanks for writing it and helping fellow filmmakers...

5: 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.
