by Tanya York

A great story, good technique, or even a familiar face in the cast will not guarantee a movie's financial success. A well developed strategy with the right value-added components will motivate a distributor to release your movie and inspire an audience to see it. Tanya takes you through the filmmaking process from story development to movie release and tells you how to avoid the pitfalls into which most filmmakers plunge.

Hollywood producers, directors, writers and distributors interviewed for How to Make Money Making Movies include Josh Olson, William Wisher, Jr., Darryl Quarles, Pierre David, Paul Hertzberg & Lloyd Kaufman and a foreword by Mario Van Peebles.

"After reading this book, you will have run out of excuses not to put your camera where your mouth is." - Josh Olson, director and Academy Award-nominated writer.

Published by W Business Books in 2009, all the profits from the book (www.amazon.com) will go to the Hollywood Arts charity to benefit underprivileged children in Hollywood.
