Finance is where all the players come together- producer, distributor, investor, banker. Everybody. It is like a house of cards. If one of the many elements slips away, the whole deal can collapse. We'll start this week by learning about the various sources of funding, including equity and other methods of financing film production. We'll discuss the different motives for funding a film- commercial, economic, and cultural. We'll also understand how a film is valued, how much it is worth to the market, which is a strange concept if you think about it. How can you put a monetary value on something as intangible as a film? We'll find out how. And of course, there's more from our case study.
