Publisher's summary

It’s harder today than ever before for independent filmmakers to make money with their films. From predatory film distributors ripping them off to huckster film aggregators who prey upon them, the odds are stacked against the indie filmmaker.

The old distribution model for making money with your film is broken, and there needs to be a change. The future of independent filmmaking is the entrepreneurial filmmaker or Filmtrepreneur®.

In Rise of the Filmtrepreneur, author Alex Ferrari breaks down how to actually make money with your film projects and show you how to turn your indie film into a profitable business.

With case studies examining success and failures, this audiobook shows you the step-by-step method to turn your passion into a profitable career. If you are making a feature film, series, or any kind of video content, the Filmtrepreneur® method will set you up for success.

BEST FILM BUSINESS BOOK

I’ve been struggling to learn the business of filmmaking with the tumultuous and chaotic market that we all know as Hollywood. I’ve followed Alex for only a year and I’ve never found anything more inspiring and honest than his content. This book is by far the best guide and companion to any indie filmmaker looking to build their career. He provides clear and honest insights, case studies, strategies, and advice about what it takes to build a lucrative career as a filmmaker. Especially now when the market has drastically changed and continues to daily. I highly recommend this book to every indie filmmaker young and old.
