I am launching my own video production company with one employee (so far) - myself. This book did a good job of covering basic fundamentals from how to find clients to how to prepare a proposal to how to maintain professionalism, etc. A few good examples are given throughout the book as well. It could have gone into each of the topics in more detail with more examples, but this is a very good reference to start with.

I honestly promote this book. I live in Europe, as from recently I am now an independent producer with five years of experience producing programmes for TV. I've also won awards related to my work.

Regarding this book, I bought it because (as already said) recently I started my own production house.
I'm impressed because what I read till now, perfectly fits in my local context. Most of what the author says, I can relate with from my own experience.

I really recommend it for those who are willing to learn the marketing tricks of our trade - video/film production.
The book is very down to earth, knows what he's saying with lots of practical examples.
Hope this helps!

I now understand why Bob Jacobs won an "Emmy" award. I picked up a copy of the THE INDEPENDENT VIDEO PRODUCER and was amzed! This is a complete manual-- a how-to manual--- on going into the video production business for oneself. In this day of emerging opportunities for video producers who know their stuff, this book is the key to unlocking a profitable future, indeed! The author demonstrates his "Emmy" winning skills throughout. The material is presented clearly and in terms that anyone can understand. All you have to do is read this thing, put what the author tells you into practice and get to work--- for yourself! As an engineer and private businessperson myself, I wish I had come across something like this when I took the entrepreneurial plunge and opened the doors to my own company. I recommend this book highly.
