Developing Feature Films in Europe: A Practical Guide (Blueprint: Media Business School) Book

Over the last two decades European films have lost two thirds of the cinema-going audience to American films. Among the differences between the European and American film industries is one area where the US invest significantly more than Europe: development. Developing Feature Films in Europe is the first comprehensive text on this critical stage of the filmmaking process. It provides details of national and pan-European funds available for film development, as well as information about training initiatives for writers and producers. There is also an invaluable directory of contacts and addresses for public and private funding bodies throughout Europe. This book provides a wealth of practical advise and information for any producer, script executive, writer or director aiming to move their projects from the idea stage into production, and to exploit the market for their scripts and films.Read More
