The independent world worldwide is a layer of individuals and in companies in different strata in a complex, layered billion-dollar global film and TV industry. What separates an independent besides being at heart an entrepreneur? What makes this group of individuals unique? They all embody from different perspectives and at different times in their career three basic fundamentals: a deep Passion for films, Persistence to battle through the labyrinth of obstacles of producing, and distributing content; and Endurance, the ability to stay the course. Above all, they combine guts and glory – however their guts is far more essential than their ambitions for glory. Whether it is walking away from a toxic partnership, both professional and personal, or stepping up to the table to what they value in life - and when families are grown can go back to the personal ambitions of passion and glory. The Business Of Film (TBOF) celebrates its 40th Year in 2020 as an Independent International Informative publishing entity. Since 1980 it has given space to our ‘family’ of global independent filmmakers and executives, championing their ambitions by celebrating through its pages the qualities of: Independence - Persistence – Freedom “Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” quote from Viktor Emil Frankl - Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist. | ||||||
