This book teaches readers how global trends define the marketplace for saleable screenplays in key international territories as well as the domestic market. Veteran writer, producer, and director Andrew Stevens gives you the insider edge you need to write for the global marketplace, sharing his decades of experience producing and financing everything from micro-budget independent films to major studio releases. In leveraging Stevens’ comprehensive experience, you will learn how to determine specific subject matter, genre, and story elements to make the most of international sales trends, and harness the power of these insider strategies to craft a screenplay that is poised to sell.
Andrew Stevens, author of Producing for Profit (Focal 2017), and the DVD/download film school series Foolproof Film School, has mastered almost every aspect of the entertainment business. From creative filmmaker, screenwriter, director, and producer, to corporate executive, leader in trade and union negotiations and collective bargaining, Stevens has guided the creative development and physical production of over 175 motion pictures, including the hit comedy The Whole Nine Yards and the cult classic Boondock Saints, and his films have generated over $1 billion in worldwide revenues. In his several successful motion picture companies, he has guided international film sales, domestic distribution, finance, publicity, and marketing. A former award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated actor, he continues to be active in the motion picture business as well as being an author, educator, motivational speaker, and industry consultant. He served for a decade on the board of directors of the International Film and Television Alliance (IFTA) and also served as chairman of the Independent Producers Association (IPA).
