A Producer's Handbook
DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER CHALLENGES A PRODUCER’S HANDBOOK by Kathy Avrich-Johnson Edited by Daphne Park Rehdner Summer 2002 Introduction and Disclaimer This handbook addresses business issues and considerations related to certain aspects of the production process, namely development and the acquisition of rights, producer relationships and low budget production. There is no neat title that encompasses these topics but what ties them together is that they are all areas that present particular challenges to emerging producers. In the course of researching this book, the issues that came up repeatedly are those that arise at the earlier stages of the production process or at the earlier stages of the producer’s career. If not properly addressed these will be certain to bite you in the end. There is more discussion of various considerations than in Canadian Production Finance: A Producer’s Handbook due to the nature of the topics. I have sought not to replicate any of the material covered in that book. What I have sought to provide is practical guidance through some tricky territory. There are often as many different agreements and approaches to many of the topics discussed as there are producers and no two productions are the same. The content of this handbook is designed for informational purposes only. It is by no means a comprehensive statement of available options, information, resources or alternatives related to Canadian development and production. The content does not purport to provide legal or accounting advice and must not be construed as doing so. The information contained in this handbook is not intended to substitute for informed, specific professional advice. -

Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences. -

The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: to Acquire Or Not to Acquire?
9-709-462 REV: JANUARY 15, 201 0 J U A N A L C Á CER DAVID COLLIS M A R Y F U R E Y The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: To Acquire or Not to Acquire? In November 2005, Robert Iger, the newly appointed CEO of the Walt Disney Company, eagerly awaited the box office results of Chicken Little, the company’s second computer-generated (CG) feature film. He knew that, for Disney as a whole to be successful, he had to get the animation business right, particularly the new CG technology that was rapidly supplanting hand-drawn animation.1 Yet the company had been reliant on a contract with animation studio Pixar, which had produced hits such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo, for most of its recent animated film revenue. And the co-production agreement, brokered during the tenure of his predecessor, Michael Eisner, was set to expire in 2006 after the release of Cars, the fifth movie in the five-picture deal. Unfortunately, contract renewal negotiations between Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar, and Eisner had broken down in 2004 amid reports of personal conflict. When he assumed his new role, Iger reopened the lines of communication between the companies. In fact, he had just struck a deal with Jobs to sell Disney- owned, ABC-produced television shows—such as “Desperate Housewives”—through Apple’s iTunes Music Store.2 Iger knew that a deal with Pixar was possible; it was just a question of what that deal would look like. Did it make the most sense for Disney to simply buy Pixar? Walt Disney Feature Animation Walt Disney Feature Animation began with the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1934. -
Effects of Accounting Regulations on Economic Decision-Making: a Case
University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Honors Scholar Theses Honors Scholar Program Spring 5-6-2012 Effects of Accounting Regulations on Economic Decision-Making: A Case Study in the Film Industry Christopher Rizzio University of Connecticut - Storrs, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses Part of the Accounting Commons, and the Business Administration, Management, and Operations Commons Recommended Citation Rizzio, Christopher, "Effects of Accounting Regulations on Economic Decision-Making: A Case Study in the Film Industry" (2012). Honors Scholar Theses. 229. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/229 Rizzio 1 Abstract Big actors, big effects, and big budgets all characterize today’s movies. Companies that produce these films have continued to increase spending to create better pictures and attract more people to the theatre. As part of the media and entertainment industry, film companies are subject to several specific accounting rules that govern the reporting of revenues and the classification of film expenses. However, many of these rules issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) are subject to a good deal of interpretation. These ambiguities can make it difficult to correctly report earnings in an industry that spends billions of dollars per year, which may also be affecting how firms make strategic decisions. This paper examines how the accounting for revenues and expenses for firms in the film industry affects aspects of their economic decision-making. The actual accounting principles are examined first, followed by a discussion of the changes that have affected studios in the industry. Finally, Time Warner and Walt Disney are analyzed as two of the major film studios in the business.
