Check out this great blog post from Baseline Intelligence on film finance. John Cones is a securities/entertainment attorney who has practiced in Los Angeles for 22 years, advising independent feature film producers and others on matters relating to investor financing of feature film and other entertainment projects. He now resides in Austin. He has prepared or participated in the preparation of investor documents for more than 250 such offerings. Mr. Cones has lectured on film finance topics more than 350 times for a variety of film industry organizations. In addition to numerous articles, he has authored seven books on those same topics. He also hosts a Q&A Internet site about investor financing of entertainment projects.
"In my work with independent film producers in the area of film finance over the past twenty years or so, I have often observed that many such filmmakers do not have strong opinions about what form of film finance to pursue."
