Description

In this second edition of Investing in Movies, industry veteran Joseph N. Cohen provides investors and producers with an analytical framework to assess the opportunities and pitfalls of film investments.

The book traces macroeconomic trends and the globalization of the business, including the rise of streamers, as well as the impact these have on potential returns. It offers a broad range of guidelines on how to source interesting projects and advice on what kinds of projects to avoid, as well as numerous ways to maximize risk-adjusted returns. While focusing primarily on investments in independent films, Cohen also provides valuable insights into the studio and independent slate deals that have been marketed to the institutional investment community. As well, this new edition has been updated to fully optimize the current film industry climate including brand new chapters on the Chinese film market, new media/streaming services, and the effects of COVID-19 on the global film market.

Written in a detailed and approachable manner, this book is essential for students and aspiring professionals looking to gain an insider perspective against the minefield of film investing.



About the Author

Joseph N. Cohen, a graduate of Yale and Oxford, held senior positions at Salomon Bros. and Lehman Brothers before he became president of Largo Entertainment, a joint venture between JVC and producer Lawrence Gordon, in 1989. During Cohen's tenure, Largo produced such hits as Point Break and Malcolm X. Cohen founded American Entertainment Investors (AEI) in 1996, which is best known for advising independent production companies, including Alcon, River Road and Black Label. AEI advised Goldman Sachs and Assured Guaranty in restructuring the Weinstein Company in 2010. Cohen is a member of the Motion Picture Academy and has taught film finance at the Peter Stark Producing Program at the University of Southern California.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
