Whether you’re an investor looking for alternative diversification or you are already familiar with film investing, this book lays out practical actionable steps to make a handsome return on your investment while at the same time being part of projects that “walk the talk” and give back to communities around the world. Filmmakers will find useful ways to pitch their projects, craft their narratives and talk to investors.
The business of movie making has always been somewhat elusive; the equivalent of grabbing a tiger by the tail. And that is because it is an art form which is highly subjective, and the finances are different for every single project (by design). Make no mistake, show business is business first. Every film is the equivalent of a start up business. As such, why should said business be excused from corporate expectations of social responsibility? There is no reason why films should not be utilizing and leveraging the importance of Impact Investing, which has taken off in every other sector across the globe in the past two decades. Quite honestly, if the independent film industry were to embrace this, it could very well be the thing that fixes Hollywood’s suffering business model.
"This book is a gold mine. So many insights, and filled with a wonderful story of making it through the belly of the Hollywood beast. An excellent read I highly recommend." - Director-Producer, Penumbra Pictures
