Review Quotes

Wong, an entertainment insurance broker, outlines the business aspects of filmmaking for independent filmmakers and students. She explains the studio system, the roles of the production crew, establishing a deal memo, unions and guild associations, casting and actor contracts, tax incentives in various states, locations, equipment and props, production scheduling, budgets, accounting, using an entertainment attorney, insurance, and risk management. The DVD-ROM contains forms and documents. There is no bibliography.

"This much-anticipated text starts the discussion where indie-targeted how-to books typically leave off. That is, at the gates of a major studio. Here s an insider s look at all the details technical, business, and legal involved in movie making, on the lot or on location, when there s serious financing behind the project and some plan other than wishful thinking for distribution."
