- "I wish I'd had you around when I was producing my first feature. I probably would have avoided a lot of pitfalls."
-
"The business plan info really opened my eyes to how a lot of this
business is so dependent on a sound business plan... and that
creativity does not have to be compromised."
-
"I had no idea that it was feasible to get a handle on film finance
myself and was really inspired to see that I don't have to be a writer
hawking scripts until I die, I could actually make the film."
- "I've
been to seminars they've put on which were extremely informative and
well put together - and this manual gives you all the info at a
fraction of the price you'd pay for a seminar with all this great
information!"
