This book was a waste of my time. I learned more by sitting down with friends who made deals already and listened to them. The best way to go is to make a film, get it into Sundance, or another festival, and submit it to or Netflix.
This book is a handy reference for business and legal users. The text strikes a good balance between being useful as an informational reference and being overly encyclopedic. The forms reflect many good contracting practices. [...]
