Sweet Land is now in theaters.

When we first read the script for Sweet Land and started working on the project in 2002, it was called Quiet Breathing. We liked the quiet and strong story, and we liked working with Ali and his cohorts in building their financing package, including providing our Markets Report, Comparable Pictures Reports (ROIs) and a Core Audience Analysis.

Now the film is out, and receiving very nice reviews. Check out the Sweet Land Review in Village Voice. Congratulations Ali and folks!

I am writing this in the last days of 2006, as we struggle to bring our web sites under control. With three main sites, www.filmprofit.com, www.bighorse.com and www.filmdependent.com, we feel that it will be easier to maintain, update, manage, and keep our information under control if we aggregate it all more closely under one roof, www.filmprofit.com, with our free publishing under www.filmdependent.com.

We are working on that now, and hope to welcome all of you who come in 2007 with a newer, easier and better site. Some of our more interesting older material will be incorporated right into this blog.

As well, we are trying to streamline how you can get to communicate with us, learn more about our services and products, and even transact with us.

More, we are hoping to begin a series of discussions by me on key issues in the film business, as they unfold. This will probably all fit under the rubric “What’s My Thru-Line?” my focus on the key elements that should drive producers’ business plans.

I hope to see you here often as we go forward, and try to keep this area fresh and meaningful in your own dependence on film…
