Drawing on her own experiences as a screenwriter and director, Bell explains how to develop, finance, produce, and distribute an independent film. She outlines 16 steps for making and distributing an indie film: developing a script that stands out; setting a start date; finding a line producer; creating a schedule and budget; writing a business plan; finding a director of photography, editor, and cast; shooting a teaser trailer; starting a limited liability company and raising money; crowdfunding; recruiting a crew; casting the smaller roles; pre-production; getting the movie in the can; editing, music, color, and sound; submitting the film to festivals; and executing a distribution plan.
