Has the previous business experience of the managers been helpful in the film world?
Marc and Barry both approach the business of film production in the same way they would approach any other business – conservatively. Film production is a wonderful blend of business and art but all too often in the independent film world there is not enough focus on the business side, jeopardizing any financial returns and even the completion of the project itself. Their prior long years of experience in other tight margin business is an important element in the attractiveness of Cavalier Films to our partners. The production of a film requires tight and disciplined budgeting, time and performance planning and monitoring, recruitment and employment, communication structures and disciplines, market evaluation and sales. All well honed skills from the world of business – any world of business!
