Film
Finance & Distribution defines those thorny legal and financial terms that
often elude novice filmmakers and impede their attempts
to secure financing and distribution. Broader in scope
of its coverage than its title might imply, this book
provides commentary on approaches to film finance and
distribution, definitions of production and post-production
technical terms, definitions of unique film industry
practices and procedures in a variety of areas, and
an extensive cross-referencing of terms that make it
as much fun to browse as it is informative as a reference
tool. John W. Cones offers definitions and advice.
