If You Work In Film Production (or want to) This Book Is For You
This book started out as an effort to answer a question that Ron Howard had put to me back in 1993. (You can check out the question in Chapter 1). The purpose of the book expanded from that question into a way to help Directors understand that 'Talking Money' is a simple, but necessary, tool to use during the film production.

See the page about Direct the Money - Walk The Talk.

 

There are only a few fundamental, non-detailed 'Money Talk' basics which gives the Film Director, and Film Producers, a much needed driving lesson through the flaming pitfalls awaiting them during the production of their script. If you know the money talk, then you can 'Walk The Talk'.

See the page about 'Translate Creative Ideas Into Money'.

Throughout the book I've inserted some of the juicier real life pitfalls that I've personally witnessed, reported on, or unwittingly participated in.

See Story #8 for one such story.

An added aim of this book, especially for Film Crew, is to give an insight into the world of Line Producing and Film Production Managing. To my knowledge and research, exposure to this type of information just isn't available anywhere else. This book is vital for film crew who want to become a Unit Production Manager.

See Crew-It's Cool To Walk The Talk.

I added a 4th section to the book specially for Film Students and those who are rookies (or, wannabe rookies) in the world of film production. There are a few fundamental administrative techniques which can give the edge to those new to the film production 'biz. Just with a simple review of Book IV you can avoid the confused bumbling of getting petty cash, signing up for payroll, preparing purchase orders, etc. The film student attempting to enter the arena of film production is never taught these fundamentals in school. Understanding the basics of these types of things will avoid taunting from the veterans, and may even win you the job over others.
