A Money Raising Conversation A few days ago I had an argument with a financier friend of mine who maintained that any business could be categorized and rated and therefore subjected to a standardized kind of financial test as to the potential of the business making a profit. I strongly announced my disagreement with him on the basis that filmmaking was one such business that did not neatly fit into his categorical analysis and then began...more
