Description

This practical guide teaches readers the skills and business acumen required to build a career in the film industry from the ground up.

While countless books and classes teach newcomers the creative aspects of the film industry, many fail to properly prepare readers for the reality of how to navigate a freelance film career today. From creating a business model, dealing with taxes and funding, finding and managing clients, networking, investing, cashflow, and planning for the long-term, Business and Entrepreneurship for Filmmakers provides real-world, pragmatic advice on navigating a freelance film career, whether you're a recent film school graduate looking to take the next step or a seasoned professional hoping to start a production company. Moreover, the skills taught here apply across the industry, from corporate media and commercials to music videos and feature films.

Interviews with filmmakers, innovators, and business experts are included throughout the book to offer further expertise and examples.

"Charles has a wealth and variety of "boots on the ground" experience in the film world. He, more than most people I know, has the kind of knowledge you'd be foolish to pass up. He's made it easy for you by putting it all in this book."

Benno Nelson, Creative Director and Owner, Yes Equals Yes


"A candid portrait of the film industry. Charles uses lessons from his own life as well as personal accounts from a variety of others in the industry to breakdown the taboo of talking about money, demonstrate that art is a business, while also inspiring young filmmakers to take charge of their own careers."

Jason Kliot, Oscar Nominated Producer of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Capernaum, Coffee and Cigarettes

Liz Nord, Filmmaker and Senior Producer, Sundance Institute

"Charles Haine has written an immensely readable, highly informative book that is a welcome companion for all those looking to sustain a career in the film industry.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
