Dictionary of Film Finance and Distribution: A Guide for Independent Filmmakers

Most independent filmmakers have a limited knowledge of the law and, thus, are at a disadvantage when it comes to negotiating the financing and distribution of a film. In addition to defining terms, Cones' dictionary also contains a list of "Terms Associated with Motion Picture Production," two essays on "337 Business Practices of the Major Studio/Distributors" and an "Overview of the Motion Picture Industry," and an extensive bibliography. -- Publisher's website.
