Review :
"Federico Arditti Muchnik mines 25 years of teaching popular courses in producing films as well as actually having produced a series of fine, sensitive films. The result is a book that strikes the perfect balance between tried-and-true techniques and the very latest methods used by cutting-edge directors. The Strategic Producer should be on every independent producer’s bookshelf." —Michael Donaldson, co-author of Clearance & Copyright: Everything the Independent Filmmaker Needs to Know "Making a movie is like playing three-dimensional chess with live ammunition. The Strategic Producer gives you a bulletproof vest of information, tactics, and cunning to come out alive and well at the other end. An invaluable ally in negotiating the invisible minefields of independent filmmaking, Muchnik takes you where other books don’t—from idea, to proof of concept and the crucial, often unasked question, ‘is this sellable?’, to incredibly useful details for every conceivable step of actually getting the beast tamed. Wisely, The Strategic Producer teaches that, above all, a producer must exude calm." —William M. Akers, screenwriting professor at Belmont University and author of Your Screenplay Sucks! "Federico Arditti Muchnik mines 25 years of teaching popular courses in producing films as well as actually having produced a series of fine, sensitive films. The result is a book that strikes the perfect balance between tried-and-true techniques and the very latest methods used by cutting-edge directors. The Strategic Producer should be on every independent producer’s bookshelf." -Michael Donaldson, Co-Author of Clearance & Copyright: Everything the Independent Filmmaker Needs to Know
