The decades since then have brought enormous changes to the business side of moviemaking, requiring that the new edition be totally rewritten. This is, then, a brand new book and one that has been most eagerly awaited. In it, three experts in entertainment law carefully explain the complex procedures involved in bringing a film to the screen, from acquiring rights and financing, to negotiating workable agreements with artists and craftspeople, to distributing and exhibiting the finished motion picture. Clear, concise, and – above all – authoritative, this book cuts a pathway through a jungle and is an essential reference for the teacher of film, the independent producer, the would-be filmmaker, and anyone interested in the business of making movies. Review: Great book with printing error - The content is great. But the printing company or the publisher made a critical mistake of forgetting pages 60 and 61 from the book. So, the book jumps from page 59 to page 62. What a shame.

But the printing company or the publisher made a critical mistake of forgetting pages 60 and 61 from the book. So, the book jumps from page 59 to page 62. What a shame. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you *by R***O on December 23, 2016* This order was such a long time ago I don't even remember if it was good or not but I do remember reading it so thank you ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must for first time producers *by E***A on September 4, 2006* Being a first-time independent producer I had little knowledge of all the legal elements involved in movie deal making. I must say that even though at first this book was a little difficult to understand, given the nature of some legal terms used, it has been essential to get a clear picture of everything that must be covered to ensure proper production, financing and distribution of any film project. The book doesn't go into detailed forms or explanations of complex contracts. It does, however, highlight the most important points of views on both sides of the negotiating table so you're better prepared when taking part either one. Furthermore, there are basic rules of thumb that will allow you to understand key business aspects and demand more from your legal advisors when making contracts for the entire production process (from development through distribution). I went on to buy "The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide" to analyze specific forms and contracts and other legal elements in further detail, but this book is definitely the starting point!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/11647843-producing-financing-and-distributing-film-a-comprehensive-legal-and-business](https://www.desertcart.us/products/11647843-producing-financing-and-distributing-film-a-comprehensive-legal-and-business) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
