The Film Finance Handbook

• Book Description
• The most comprehensive guide to film finance and funding yet 
• published is relevant for shorts, features, documentary and video, from 
• beginner through to seasoned professional. 
• The latest installment 
• of the 6,000-selling Film Finance Handbook has been significantly updated 
• by over 20 experts in six continents with 80% new content, effectively 
• becoming three books in one: a full how-to theory text, an extensive global 
• guide to tax incentives and breaks for 50 countires, and a funding 
• directory, with over 1000 awards.
• PART 1 - THEORY AND PRACTICE 
• explores and explains - with dozens of case studies and interviews - the 
• full process of raising finance. Getting Started is an introduction to the 
• industry, detailing the main structures and how the business works as well 
• as the basics of development, networking, pitching, business plans, 
• negotiating, contract law, copyright, incorporation and team building. 
• Production Financing then looks comprehensively at how independent film 
• financing works: equity, soft money, tax breaks, deferments, pre-sales, gap 
• finance, advances, banking, negative pick-ups, EIS, venture capital, 
• sponsorship and product placement. Low and microbudget production explores 
• dozens of ways to reduce your budget and cut costs - with tips, guides, 
• interviews, budget breakdowns and case studies. The internet then looks at 
• new methods of funding - as well as marketing and distribution - that use 
• the web as a resource and platform.
• Dozens of original case studies 
• and interviews include Jeremy Thomas, one of Europe's leading producers, 
• whose Oscar(tm)-winning The Last Emperor was the first Western film to 
• shoot in China; Jim Gilliam, who raised the budget of Iraq for Sale almost 
• entirely through email; Roy Disney, vice-chair of Walt Disney Inc; Paul 
• Andrew Williams, whose £80,000-feature London to Brighton became a festival 
• hit in 2006; and Susan Buice & Arin Crumley, whose Four Eyed Monsters is 
• the first feature film ever to be offered by YouTube.
• PART 2 - 
• INTERNATIONAL INCENTIVES combines the knowledge of dozens of film finance 
• experts and lawyers around the world to describe the incentives and tax 
• breaks available in their region. Information is provided on 50 countries,

• country - and for each major scheme - it covers What is available? Who can 
• apply? and How can you qualify? The section includes the new US tax break,
