The Grand Plan: I’m Gonna Tell Ya How to Make Your Own Movie and Get Distribution

Experts on indie filmmaking who’ve never made a feature-length movie. Wizards of film finance webinars who’ve never gotten anything financed. Even some film schools seem to be discouraging more filmmakers than they mint. All of this has resulted in the proliferation of incorrect and outdated information about how to actually get a movie made, financed and distributed.
