"Alex Ferrari's Rise of the Filmtrepreneur is an absolute must-read for serious indie filmmakers seeking to build a sustainable living from making movies. This is a radical shift in the current thinking about how to make money as a creative and puts the power back into the hands of the filmmaker. It is an inspiration." - CHRIS GORE, FILM THREAT "The dream of the Sundance lottery ticket is dead, but filmmakers are still asleep. This book is an essential guide to the current independent film landscape - packed with valuable real-world advice, inspiring case studies and industry horror stories. Filmmakers: Ignore this book at your own peril." - CHRIS SHARPE, CO-FOUNDER YOGA WITH ADRIAN "This man knows his stuff. The future of indie film is already here. Read this book. Get educated, or get left behind."- DARIOUS BRITT. WRITER/DIRECTOR @D4DARIOUS "In this era of DIY filmmaking, it's not enough to focus solely on the craft. An understanding of how the business works and how you can control your product is a must. This book provides a wealth of actionable info and many of Alex's most lucrative tips and tricks. You couldn't ask for a better filmmaking sherpa." - RICH "RB" BOTTO, FOUNDER/CEO STAGE 32 "If you buy only one book on filmmaking, buy mine. But if you're going to buy two, make sure your second one is Rise of the Filmtrepreneur - it's terrific!" - DAN MIRVISH, CO-FOUNDER SLAMDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
