Still deciding what to include in the book was a daunting task. “The editors at the publishing house were helpful, as were some of my filmmaking colleagues, who are in academics [and] helped me out, too,” Mirvish said. “But when you look at things, it’s not that complicated in the sense that a film starts with a screenplay, then into casting, financing, production, post-production, film festivals and then distribution. “All of those things made a pretty good outline,” he said. “Then it was just the question of how to put all this stuff into the sections of the book.” Another of the book’s components is called Namedroppers, which are short anecdotes Mirvish has learned from other filmmakers, industry insiders and stars, including Christopher Nolan and the late Harold Ramis. “A large part of my own filmmaking career has been inter- YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

So, I wanted to put these experiences in the book as well.” While writing the book, Mirvish also found himself learning from his own advice. “Even something as simple as rereading my chapter on what to do on the first day was really helpful when it came my first day on my new film,” he said. The experience also helped Mirvish look at his profession differently. “If I had to boil it down, the overall concept of the book is that independent films today isn’t a viable business model,” he said. “People have been trying for 100 years to get investors to invest with the film with the promise that they will make money. “The investors more than always come away disappointed and come break your knee-caps,” Mirvish said. “Then you get back out there and have to find new investors for your new film.” This is where crowd funding comes in. “Today, we no longer think of investing in a film,” Mirvish said. “You think more in terms of backing a film. And because of that, it makes more sense to incorporate nonprofits, 501 (c) 3, The New York Times crossword puzzle GRAMMAR LESSON By Joel Fagliano / Edited by Will Shortz ACROSS 1 Kind of kick 8 Product of evaporation 15 Apple product 20 Keep in 21 Brunch-menu heading 22 Parts of college courses 23 Sources of stress for many modern workers 24 Utopia? 26 Part of the Dept. of Transportation 27 Channel buildup 29 Packers’ grp.? 30 Old tabloid fodder 31 Piece still under consideration for a magazine? 37 Org. concerned with water quality 40 Balsa or balsam 41 Budgetary excess 42 Signal meaning “no disease on this ship” 44 Hurt sharply 46 Workers in some labs, informally 48 Interminable task 49 “____ Must Die” (Claude McKay poem) 50 “Village” newspaper that’s namby-pamby? 53 Bull’s urging 54 Fashion guru Tim 55 Behave 56 ____ of reality 57 Admitted (to) 59 Jacket material 60 Percolate 62 The “kid” in “Here’s looking at you, kid” 64 Kia model 65 Common flower that’s poisonous to eat 66 Santa’s nieces and nephews? 71 Indiana Jones trademark 74 ____ department 75 Uber-owned company that makes self-driving trucks 76 Agreement 80 Result of a year-end review, maybe 81 “That so?” 84 Also-ran for the golden apple, in myth 86 “I don’t reckon” 87 Home to Weber State University 88 Obama’s signature health law, for short 89 Like shoppers worrying about getting the right gift? 92 ____ pad 93 Top 95 Scheduled to arrive 96 Like kitsch 97 Fleet for many a commuter airline 100 Doctor’s orders, for short 101 Japanese soup 102 Specimen, for example: Abbr. 103 Jailhouse? 108 Prohibitionists 110 Craggy peak 111 Several CBS dramas 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 20 21 23 24 26 27 31 32 51 72 63 67 87 88 92 93 97 98 102 103 108 114 69 83 76 84 85 90 39 77 78 79 95 99 into your fundraising strategies.” This paradigm has been around in arts organizations -- symphonies, public radio -- except for films, for years. “Now, there seems to be a shift to where we think of film as another one of those art forms where you will get a tote bag and a mug if you donate money,” Mirvish said. “That’s the only way independent film can be fully sustainable.” Mirvish hopes the book will help other independent filmmakers. “I know there are those who know all about what to on set or how to film, but they don’t know about how to self-distribute their films,” he said. “Or there are those who are good screenwriters but have never done the filmfestival circuit. “Since I’ve done it all, although I may not have done it well, I think I have some expertise in what I’m writing about,” he said with a laugh.
