Want to simply make movies or be in the film business? If you are serious about asking investors for money to finance your filmmaking endeavors, show them that you have not only a story that will appeal to audiences, but a solid business plan for managing the life cycle of your project(s).
In this 2 ½ hour class, Levison will take the mystique out of film financing and writing a winning business plan. From the executive summary to the financial projections, you will learn how to research, organize, and present your case to investors.
Topics include:
-
Filmmakers as entrepreneurs
-
Clarifying objectives and responsibilities
-
What investors look for in a business plan
-
Knowing what to include and not include
-
Homing in on market segments and marketing
-
Distribution channels and distributor strategies
-
Developing assumptions and projections for revenue, costs, profit and cash flow
