Movies and Money: Financing the American Film Industry

This volume is the first in-depth study of the relationship between Hollywood and its financiers from the early film entrepeneuers who established the trade at the turn of the century, through the present day multinational, diversified film coporations that dominate the communication/entertainment industry of the world. Specific case studies are drawn from primary sources and crucial questions of financial control and corporate power are examined in light of their broader implications for media production and distribution.Janet Wasko is the author of 'Movies and Money: Financing the American Film Industry', published 1982 under ISBN 9780893911317 and ISBN 0893911313.
