4.0 out of 5 stars A must-read, Sep 11 2006
By Book shark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Movie Business: The Definitive Guide to the Legal and Financial Secrets of Getting Your Movie Made (Hardcover)
This is arguably one of the best contemporary books on the market that addresses the legal and financial aspects of producing a feature film. While the book does go quite heavily into the legalese producers must consider, it's still accessible enough for the novice producer or filmmaking enthusiast to walk away with a weighty respect for the intricate behind-the-camera activity that occurs in regard to film development, production, and distribution.

p.s. this is not a publisher's ghost plug for the book, but a straight-forward review from an independently-minded reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Info, April 6 2010

This review is from: The Movie Business: The Definitive Guide to the Legal and Financial Secrets of Getting Your Movie Made (Hardcover)
Reads like an outsider's guide written by an insider. Facts, anecdotes and information is all helpful for the independent filmmaker and I imagine there's a thing or two for the veterans. Easy-to-read and very actionable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serious Filmmakers: Add This Book to Your Shelf!, Sep 27 2009
By Jeremy Juuso "Author, GETTING THE MONEY: A St... - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Movie Business: The Definitive Guide to the Legal and Financial Secrets of Getting Your Movie Made (Hardcover)
If you ever have to negotiate with distributors, this book is a great starting point. In fact, it may be the only book you end up using. Crabb details exactly where and how distributors like to stick it to filmmakers, and how to protect yourself the best you can. It needs to be updated with regards to VOD rights for cable, satellite, the Internet, etc., but concerning other distribution matters, the book is still top notch. In addition to handling distribution contracts, transactional matters relating to development and production are also covered. This book is a must for every filmmaker's shelf!
