Читать книгу Bankroll - Tom Malloy - Страница 2
ОглавлениеIn refreshingly frank language, Tom Malloy tells it like it is… and like it isn’t. Bankroll could be the only book you’ll ever need to read about independent filmmaking – this book is the real “deal”. Tom’s energy, enthusiasm and knowledge leap off the page – if this doesn’t motivate and inspire you, nothing will!
—Stephanie Austin, Producer, Terminator 2, True Lies, Behind Enemy Lines
Tom Malloy’s approach is the real deal and combines pragmatism with a bit of motivational pep talk and spirituality. The book isn’t written by a lawyer or ex-agent or trust-fund-gilded producer who happens to be blessed with personal wealth and endless family contacts in high places. Since Tom is a writer, actor, producer, and filmmaker his advice comes from a unique perspective and should be mandatory reading for aspiring film producers.
—Michael Roban, Executive Producer, Secretary, Penelope, Love in the Time of Cholera

If you want to move from micro-budget films you fund yourself to Indiewood films with budgets between $500K to $7 million, then Tom Malloy’s Bankroll is absolutely essential reading. Packed with secrets and tricks from a producer who has gotten three films funded and theatrically released in the last two years, Bankroll shares amazing ways to get your genre picture made successfully!

The most important part of independent filmmaking is finding the money. Without the money, nothing else can happen. This book tells you how to do it in simple, practical, and effective terms. I’ve read nothing else as informative on this first and most vital part of getting your film made. Kudos to Tom Malloy.
—Tom Holland, Writer/Director, Fright Night, Child’s Play, Thinner

The simplest, most straightforward instructions I’ve ever read about how to finance your own film. This isn’t an exposé of how studio moguls or bigwig indie producers do it; it’s a step-by-step guide to how the hungry, scrappy (but no less savvy) do-it-yourselfers do it. Having read this, I now fully believe that I could go and raise $8 million for my own movie… tonight. (That may be a bit delusional, and easier said than done, but at least I know where to start.)
—Chad Gervich, TV Writer/Producer
and Author; Small Screen, Big Picture: A Writer’s Guide to the TV Business
Tom Malloy’s Bankroll outlines unique cutting-edge strategies to make your indie film a reality. It is a must read in this tough economy.

When he says that he’s not holding anything back, he’s not kidding – he tells you everything, including things others won’t give away. He gives you ideas on raising money that you can learn at practically any stage in your career.

Distribution, Overture Films
Beginners will appreciate Bankroll’s comprehensive and prescriptive nature. Filmmakers who have already financed a film or are encountering obstacles along the way will learn to refine and sharpen their strategies. Reading this book and applying its principles will better position you to do what few others can successfully do… find the money.
