ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at what needs to be addressed about a film. It demonstrates how to describe it and explains not only the amount of information that filmmaker needs to include but also what filmmaker should leave out. As filmmakers partner, the investor has a right to know the complete storyline and what activities are being contemplated in order to make an informed decision. The trick is to tell enough to engage readers but not so much that filmmaker risk losing them. Being able to read manuscripts before they are published gives filmmaker an advantage over other filmmakers. Agents have access to unpublished manuscripts all the time. Filmmaker should disclose each film's assets as well as any nonmonetary values that are important to the types of films filmmaker want to make. Options can be obtained for a reasonable price if the timing and people involved are right.
