Summary: Went in a skeptic, came out a believer
Review: Being a skeptic, I tested Mark's capsule exercises on a script I was preparing for the IFP Spotlight Award. The results were unnerving - I discovered buried treasure I didn't know I had within my story and eliminated an entire subplot that didn't service the STORY. Mark demystifies the concept of marketing, asking simple, direct questions. By asking "why would anyone want to see your film?" Mark goes past just marketing and addresses the issues that draw people to filmmaking in the first place. When I put the book down, I had a clear vision of the kind of filmmaker I want to be - and a great set of tools to get there.

Summary: New Filmmaker's Bible
Review: Believe the hype of the reviews of this book! If you are an independent filmmaker, or want to know what it takes to get a film promoted, distributed and sold, you must have this book. Street level instruction on every aspect of film promotion such as getting media attention, finding a distributor, selling copies of a film to Blockbuster and even how to begin thinking about web-based promotion of your movie. Details on how to approach, place the initial call and follow-up with distributors is most valuable, as is the way Bosko clearly describes the very intricate path a film takes from finished product to sitting on the video store of Best Buy shelf. Anyone even thinking about making an independent film needs the informatio in in this book to save time, money and headaches.

Summary: Film biz school in a book
Review: I couldn't believe the amount of information in this great new book. Bosko covers absolutely every angle of independent film distribution, from finding your movie's hook, to creating a presentation package, to researching and contacting the correct distributors, making a deal, and maybe, most importantly, what to do when all that fails (self distribution). Bosko never shys away from telling of his own misfortunes in this trade, and it helps the reader relate and learn as they go. Plus a huge appendix and offer from Bosko to email him direct anytime - what a great resource!

Summary: An Absolute MUST!
Review: Outstanding! Mark's style of writing is so engaging, down-to-earth, and motivating --I couldn't pull myself away! I've been behind the scenes on several film projects and can't believe they had the audacity to shoot without knowing what Mark shares in this book. My highlighter is nearly empty! When it comes to marketing a project, ignorance is certainly not bliss! Mark's book is an absolute MUST HAVE if you plan to DO something with your film other than show your parents!
