Studios represent the business end of show business. Studios typically provide the following for a film or television project:

 Financing to get a project started or completed

 Sets and production facilities (such as cameras, editing equipment, and even food services)

 Marketing and distribution to advertise a project

Getting a job in a studio — whether you’re working as a security guard, a janitor, or a secretary — is an excellent way to meet people and find out more about show business from an insider’s point of view.

The following sections examine in greater detail two important tasks the studio does: financing a project and marketing and promoting a project.
