Whether you are a newbie on YouTube or a Hollywood bound Director, there are things covered in here that you would have never thought of, and that will only create more profit, in turn, providing the needed backing of a better picture.
There are financial opportunities to many entities if you have the ability to sell your film idea or even a completed film. Sponsors, product placement, tie-ins with other companies, cross promotion, and items sold based on the film as if it were fan memorabilia and more. Well, all that requires licensing, negotiation, contracts, and making the right agreements.
With a focus of web use, we all know that the Internet will only become the main source of our entertainment. I don't even think theaters will be around much. The tv screens are getting very big, very high quality and very reasonably priced. We will be staying home, with our TVs connected to online services. So, filmmakers may be looking at YouTube as a starting point, but the concept will continue to larger audiences.
With facts and figures from Hollywoods biggest production companies, you are informed of every level or expectation. Nothing is out of sight if you are able to sell your creation. This is a reference book as well, as you will be using your ideas and referring to it to see if you can connect those ideas with investors or distributors of services that go well together.
The entire process is overwhelming, tedious and frightening, but this publication will help organize your inspirations into something that could very well pay off in areas you didn't even know existed.
I have a lot to learn, and far from creating a film of merit, but will be using this guide to make sure I take the right steps to make it work.

Written by the insider who headed sales for Lucasfilm across distribution markets and managed the release of Star Wars Episode III, this is the first book to show how all related media distribution markets, including television, video and online, work together and independently to finance and maximize profits on productions. It demystifies how an idea moves from concept to profits and how distribution quietly dominates an industry otherwise grounded in high profile elements (production, marketing, creative, finance, law).

The book provides a unique apprenticeship to the business, illuminating at a macro level how an idea can move from concept to generating $1 Billion, relating theory and practice in the context of the maturation of global market segments, and exposing the devil in the detail that impacts bottom line profits.

Producers, media executives, students and entertainment attorneys in specific niches will benefit from this wide-ranging look at the business across various distribution outlets, including theatrical, video, television, online, merchandising, video-on-demand, etc. This book is officially endorsed by Variety magazine.
