Synopsis

What has Film School got to do with it? Nothing, when it comes to having a prolific career in Film and Television. It all boils down to a harmonic balance between art and mindset. This book is about bridging the What with How Hollywood truly works. Many business professionals get overwhelmed and confused on technique and access routes to pitch their projects so they are produced and sold. Having been part of the producing and selling process of movies that made over 900 million worldwide, I have a proven framework that will create a clear and easy-to-follow path for your creative endeavors and how to bust those doors open for your creative dream to become a reality.

There are many books out there about screenwriting, directing, producing, acting, but none has been created yet to help you understand the process of the Hollywood machine from inception to completion. Have you always wanted to get your book, script, or project in the hands of decision-makers but confused and unclear on how to use the effective words and right format? Are you scared at the thought of “pitching yourself or your art in the room”? Do you know the "essentials" of the Film and Tv Industry?

I have put together the exact framework to help build confidence in your work and yourself and give you the steps to convert your idea into a rock-solid, easy, and business-focused plan that will have maximum impact. I have sat in rooms where multi-million dollar movies and shows came to life to become Award winners and box office hits. I produced some of them and discovered the visionaries that created those hits. I even interviewed some on my five-star rated podcast THE HEART OF SHOW BUSINESS. If you are ready to transform your show business dream into a profitable mission, this book is for you.
The Heart of Show Business will take you on a journey of mastery in sales, creativity, pitching, business, networking, and the vital information on how to enter the Film and Television world.

We will cover these topics:
- The 3 Keys to gain control over your Hollywood journey
- The difference between selling and influencing
- What is a purpose-driven creative entrepreneur
- The 5 necessary Steps to pitch like a pro
- You have a story, now what happens?
- Nobody says NO for no Reason
- Finding your audience, your business partners, and your Emotional Juice.
- The single mistake all writers make

- Crossing Boundaries to access the Show Business world
- Getting from Maybe to a Yes
- Pitch Perfect – what does it mean?
- The path of a story from script to script to screen
- Set Life- a typical day of filming
- Enter the Mastermind- The role of the Producer
- The Hollywood decision-makers- where do they hide?

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
