Making Hollywood Happen - The Story of Film Finances

Informationen zum Autor Charles Drazin is an archival consultant for Film Finances Ltd. He previously taught at Queen Mary, University of London, and has published several books on film history, including In Search of The Third Man , Korda: Britain's Only Movie Mogul , and The Faber Book of French Cinema . Klappentext Film Finances was founded in London in 1950 to insure against the risk that a film would exceed its original budget or not be completed on time. It developed the "completion guarantee"--the financial instrument that provides the essential security for investors to support independent filmmaking. Making Hollywood Happen tells the company's story through seven decades of postwar cinema history and chronicles the growth of the international independent film industry. Zusammenfassung Film Finances’s role in filmmaking was little known outside the industry until 2012, when it opened its historical archive to scholars. Drawing on these previously private documents as well as interviews with its executives, this book tells the company’s story through seven decades of postwar cinema history.
