Reviews
""This is the best one volume legal and business guide for independent film-making that I've come across (not that you shouldn't read others.) Garon covers all of the bases from conception of a project and formation of the venture through distribution of the finished film. Add a decent book of form contracts (and specific legal advice when you need it) and you are ready to start production."" --Patrick, Goodreads
