IN STORES NOW!
AVAILABLE AT:
Sherman Oaks, CA – Jan 22, 2009 – Independent film producer and distributor Tanya York will release her book How to Make Money Making Movies – The Secrets of Becoming a Profitable Filmmaker, nationwide on Jan 22nd, with all of the profits going to the Hollywood Arts Charity.
York herself produced her first film at 19, and has produced 30 urban, action & horror feature films over the past 20 years, all of which have turned profits. She has also distributed over 1000 films as founder and CEO of York Entertainment, York International Inc., and Urban Girl productions. Utilizing her vast experience in every aspect of the successful financing, production and distribution of an Independent Film, York has assembled a hands-on guide for the next generation of Independent Filmmakers.
With a foreword written by Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City, Judgment Day, Ali), “How To Make Money..” also includes interviews and insider knowledge from numerous Hollywood Heavyweights including Josh Olson - Oscar Nominee (A History of Violence), William Wisher Jr. (Live Free or Die Hard, Terminator 2), Darryl Quarles (Big mammas House, Family Ties), Carlos Gallardo (El Mariachi, Grindhouse), Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Films) as well as many others.
“The reason I wrote this book”, York explains “ Is to use my 20 years of experience to help Independent filmmakers not only realize their creative dreams, but make money as well. My distribution company receives over 100 completed films per month seeking distribution, but only 2-4 titles per month are actually good enough for us to buy.”
A portion of the proceeds from “How To Make Money Making Movies” will go to Hollywood Arts ( www.hollywood-arts.org ), a one-of-a-kind arts academy for homeless and foster care young people located in the heart of Hollywood that uses the arts-education to help homeless youth become self-sufficient.
