This is a great book......
The guru of fundraising for indie films has crafted a primer even more essential today than it was when it first came out in 1994. The updated edition makes it clear that finding funding for noncommercial films is as much of an art as filmmaking itself-- and that every indie can be the master of both, when Shaking the Money Tree is their guide.
