I’ve been work­ing with a new film­maker client who is pro­duc­ing his sec­ond feature. He came to me for help after his first film bombed.  He didn’t get dis­tri­b­u­tion, wasted thou­sands of dol­lars on a screen­ing that was not well attended, and spent hun­dreds more on film fes­ti­val entry fees that didn’t gar­ner a sin­gle accep­tance.  He pro­duced the first film think­ing he knew what he was doing but learned, the hard way, he didn’t know as much as he did.  I’m sure this sounds famil­iar to many of you.

Dur­ing our coach­ing ses­sions, I worked with him on the process of film­mak­ing, doing all the lit­tle things that add up to one big success. Things many film­mak­ers over­look because they are so focused on the big­ger pic­ture, they don’t pay atten­tion to the small details that will make or break your film.

I cre­ated a laun­dry list of duties that he, as the film­maker & CEO of the pro­duc­tion, is respon­si­ble for.  I call it the Film­maker Cheat Sheet.  It’s a check­list that lays out, in chrono­log­i­cal order, all the things a film­maker has to take into account in pro­duc­ing a film.

It’s Thanks­giv­ing and I’m in the spirit of giv­ing so I decided to make this Cheat Sheet avail­able to all of you for a mere $7 invest­ment.  That’s right, $7!  Happy Thanks­giv­ing!  Who can say no to that?  It will change the way you go about pro­duc­ing your next film because now you will have a script to fol­low in terms of cross­ing all your ‘Ts and dot­ting all your I’s.

So again, it’s $7 for the Film­maker Cheat Sheet. Get it today!

I can’t tell you how many film­mak­ers I meet who made films that they can­not get financ­ing or dis­tri­b­u­tion for, or even sell on their own web­site.  For many of these film­mak­ers, a few adjust­ments could have made the dif­fer­ence between get­ting and not get­ting dis­tri­b­u­tion. Don’t fall into that trap.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a script that directed you down the path to cre­at­ing a suc­cess­ful film project?  That’s what the Film­maker Cheat Sheet is, a script!  Down­load your copy right now.  Your film project is worth it!

P.S. If you are a mem­ber of Hol­ly­wood Career Strate­gies (http://www.tanyakersey.com/members) you can down­load the list for free in the down­load area of the site.  If you’re not a mem­ber, think about join­ing.  I have hun­dreds of dol­lars worth of career-related arti­cles, work­sheets, con­tact lists, audio inter­views, strat­egy ses­sions and tele­sem­i­nars that you can down­load for free as a mem­ber.  New con­tent is added weekly.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Bless­ings,
