ABSTRACT
To start a business, all you have to do is choose a name and have a phone; ergo, you are in business. To be successful, though, a business involves much more. A company, according to the American College Dictionary, is “a number of people united for a joint action a band, party, or troop of people.” The lone screenwriter is an island of self-absorption; the filmmaker is king-long live the king! When she becomes the producer or director, though, she is running a business.
