Introduction

There’s an old book, What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School by Mark McCormack (Collins, 1984), from a businessperson who set out to tell the real-world lessons they felt were missed in schools. You can think of this book as “What they don’t teach you at film school,” since for some reason many film schools skip teaching the nuts and bolts of business skills that are going to be vital if you want to have a career in the industry.
