When debut screenwriter Heath Jones decided to produce a movie, these were questions that he'd simply never asked himself, after all there were books on making independent films that could help, right? He had also previously served in the British armed forces, spent years as a Financial Adviser and acquired a Masters Degree in Film History...so how could he possibly fail?

Little did he know of just how deceitful and mendacious, movie people could be; sinister industry sharks and vultures with just one goal in mind...to eat his lunch!

With a fledgling new script, no contacts, no experience and given no chance, Jones took on the 'movers & shakers' and won, completing his first ever film on a seven figure budget while still managing to keep a significant creative and financial interest in it....and you can do it too.

You only ever have one 'first time' so How To Produce Your First Movie: Without Losing the Shirt off your Back is a book no first time movie producer should be without!
