Books, Books and More Books
This morning at midnight another book that I am participating in, The Modern MovieMaking Movement launched for free on the web. All you need to get your own copie is to click on the link above. My chapter is on the PMD and the New 50/50. I am in very good company as the other authors are Jurgen Wolff, Jason Brubaker, Tom Malloy, Sheri Candler, Carole Dean, Norman Berns, Gary King, Gordon Firemark and Peter D. Marshall.
Here is the idea behind the book: While the philosophy is evolving, Modern MovieMaking is defined by an era of entrepreneurial filmmakers who do not ask permission to make, market or sell movies. Instead of making movies and hoping the movie will get seen, picked up and sold through traditional distribution channels, the modern moviemaker makes movies, directly engages with the audience and builds community around his or her movie titles.
Topics Covered in the Book:
Uncover Successful, Modern Screenwriting Tips – Jurgen Wolff
Find Out How To Make the Most of Movie Money – Norman C. Berns
Discover Six Ways to Finance Your Feature Film – Gordon Firemark
