Our Comments; Through out Mr. Cones professional life, he has seen, talked, interviewed and experienced a wealth of information which has been translated to this great book. Giving the (us) the little guys, "the independent film makers" a fighting chance in the world of film finance and distribution. Film makers as well as entertainment attorneys alike would benefit from the collective knowledge assembled in this book by Mr. Cones hard work and experience.
Quote from the book; "I wrote this dictionary to help fill the void", say's Cones!

"More specifically my goal is to help level the playing field a bit when it comes to negotiating, financing and distribution of films.
