OUT OF STOCK
A good story, good technique, or even a familiar face in the cast will not guarantee a movie’s financial success. A good strategy can—a strategy that takes into account all the basic elements that will inspire a distributor to release your movie and inspire an audience to see it. Tanya York, a highly successful producer and distributor of independent films, offers up all the ins and outs, benefits and terrors of making independent movies. She shows you how the distribution of one of the world’s most glamorous industries works, and how best to succeed in it. She takes you through the filmmaking process from story development to movie release and tells you how to avoid the pit falls into which most filmmakers plunge. Hollywood producers, directors, writers and distributors interviewed for How to Make Money Making Movies include James Cameron, Mario Van Peebles, Josh Olson, William Wisher, Jr., Darryl Quarles, Pierre David, Paul Hertzberg, Lloyd Kaufman, Steve Wang, Carlos Gallardo and Ray Canella. “After reading this book, you will have run out of excuses not to put your camera where your mouth is.” — Josh Olson, director and Academy Award-nominated writer
