ABSTRACT

A film is always a group project; there is far too much to accomplish for one person to do everything. It is important to ensure that company personnel do not go off in three or four different directions. Ensuring that filmmaker understand what they are truly about is the first step. If the idea of personal objectives still perplexes filmmaker, take some time to think about it. Being passionate about films is one thing; having nothing else in filmmakers life is something else. Once filmmaker can identify their personal goals. Even if filmmakers company has been in business for a long time or if the principals have considerable experience, never assume that readers have an intimate knowledge of their business. They have already taken the first step of starting a business—translating the entrepreneur's vision into a concrete plan of action. The next step is the practical process of actually setting up shop.
