The International Film Business: A Market Guide Beyond Hollywood
£7.10
The International Film Business considers the independent film sector as a business, and the specific skills and knowledge that it requires. It describes both the present state of the independent film industry and the significant technological developments that have begun to take place, and what changes these might effect.
The International Film Business:
- describes the present organization of the entirety of the film industry as a business
- discusses how digital technology is currently and how it potentially may change the structure of the industry in the future
- gives information and advice on the different business skills that are necessary to navigate what is a very high-risk, pyrotechnical industry.
Taking an entrepreneurial perspective on what future opportunities will be available to prepared and informed business students and emerging practitioners, this text includes case studies that take students through the successes and failures of a variety of real film companies/projects and exclusive interviews with leading practitioners in all sectors of the industry, from production to exhibition.

The best ‘how to’ / ‘industry demystified’ / ‘film business & legals’ film text that I’ve come across. Thanks to frank language and real world analogies, this complex and detailed guide manages to explain the intricacies of the business with intrigue and ease – but be warned, Finney has a level of honesty when it comes to reflecting on how films get made that is not for the faint-hearted.
The book makes clear the present day and historical influence of the studio system, but unlike others is written with a clear emphasis on the majority experience of film-makers who are trying to break in or already operating within the independent sector.
Worth its weight in gold for those unsure about how the game really works – and how it is all simultaneously changing as we stumble into the digital future.
