(More customer reviews)The Producer's Business Handbook, Third Edition: The Roadmap for the Balanced Film Producer
Much like I have been saying in other reviews about books I have read recently about different aspects of filmmaking this may be the best book on the subject. This is one of the most informative books I have ever read on producing, honestly like others are saying about this book it should be what is taught in film schools. This is some of the best stuff I have ever read, honestly this book is supremely helpful and insightful. Page to page and chapter to chapter this book is excellent. I recommend you pick this up immediately if you want to make a movie or are interested in this type of stuff.
This book covers everything from the producer's business stand point in every aspect that one could think of. From getting financing to handling it to spending it to marketing all the way to the theatrical runs and stuff. Now a lot of the numbers and stuff in here could be confusing, notice how I said could be because in most books there are just that. The authors here have did a marvelous job making this not only easy to read but easy to understand. They break everything down and present it in the simplest terms and even include charts and visual stuff like that. They even breakdown what production companies and studios do and what they are meant for, it really is an excellent read.
If you are interested in filmmaking I highly recommend this book because it really is that helpful and easy to read. This is a great book that really is very helpful and very insightful, go pick it up. Honestly I really am happy I got this book as I am on my second read through, just to read it again. So if you are out and about or looking for something to get here online I say pick this up.
