ABSTRACT

MOST FILMMAKERS ARE constantly in the development process. The second you have a good idea for a movie, and think about it again, you are really in the development process. In the film industry, development refers to the process of getting a screenplay to the point where it can be presented to financiers and investors, directors and actors. You try and create a package that, when shown to any prospective investor or talent, you will hear the magic ‘yes’. This is known as the green light in the film industry.
