Does anyone know where you can get a good example or template for writing up a business plan for an independent film? Free preferably.

PJR gets out a lot of free templates over on Sonnyboo.com (http://www.sonnyboo.com/downloads/filmmaker.htm).

Check it out. He may not have what you need, but if you contact him by PM (http://www.indietalk.com/member.php?u=1153) he might be willing to help you out.

Also if you join http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/FilmBudgeting/ you can access their file section that contains info on how to budgetting and some examples plus also business plan, fundraising stuff...

Now, remember that group ONLY discuss about film budgetting, so keep it in mind that anything not related to budget shouldn't be posted within their group. But they do have a good resource of examples and files to read on.

Including an spreadsheet scheduling file for anyone who want to do scheduling, it's very comprehensive and sophisticated.

Has Sonnyboo dropped a lot of his forms? I;m sure there used to be loads more on there
