"The Movie Business Book provides a very comprehensive look at the film industry, not from the perspective of scholars, but from that of practitioners. This will be a very valuable book for students interested simply in how the industry works, and for those interested in a career within that industry. Given its perspective, this collection provides a wonderful resource and a complement to other film studies texts."

- Paul Soukop, SJ, Santa Clara University, in Commercial Research Trends, vol.35 issue 4

"If you are on the business side of filmmaking ― or aspire to be ― then I recommend this book to you without hesitation. It not only provides solid, up-to-date information but also some great role models of top people in the industry. Read up, then come back and help me make a movie!"
