"This booklet is written from the perspective of the small-size film producer and/or entrepreneur. His economic success depends on matching ideas with talent, obtaining relevant intellectual property (IP) rights and using them to attract finance from commercial film distributors" (introduction, page 6). The publication examines the various stages of the film making process – development (i.e. concept/idea, dealing with financiers); pre-production (i.e. underlying rights acquisitions, attaching key talent, dealing with agents; production (i.e. principal photography); post-production (i.e. editing, adding audio-sound, visual effects); distribution; and exhibition."
