ABSTRACT

If you’re planning on making a film for your own amusement and have no intention of trying to make money from it, you can probably skim through this section.

But if you’re like most filmmakers, you would like the possibility of selling or licensing your film some day.Whether you hope to see your film in the theaters, on cable TV, or on DVDs distributed worldwide, you’d like some return on your financial investment. It should come as no surprise then that if you want your film to make money, you need to treat your production as a business.
