ABSTRACT

The business plan outline does not change for documentary, animated, and large format (i.e., IMAX) films. You still have the same list: Executive Summary, The Company, The Film, The Industry, The Markets, Distribution, Risk Factors, and Financial Plan. However, the specifics within some of these sections vary. Each format treated in this chapter has specific areas that have to be treated differently than the “rules” laid down in the rest of the book. In addition, all the formats differ from each other in some aspects. This chapter takes you through how to treat each one and gives you examples for forecasting.
