Independent Feature Film Production

Independent Feature Film Production is an essential guidebook for filmmakers. Gregory Goodell addresses the making of independent films, taking the reader through the process of the independent film's development phase: the script, commitment from the director and actors, and the legal structure necessary to raise money to make the picture. Whether interested in learning to make a movie on a shoestring budget or on a larger scale, this book guides the reader through the entire proces of developing an independent film.

This new edition has been completely updated to reflect changes in every aspect of the moviemaking process. Chapters are divided into five sections: Legal Structuring and Financing, The Preproduction Package, The Production Package, Postproduction, and Distribution and Marketing.
