"My name is Maurice Joshua and like many here, I am an independent producer. I have to say that after spending money on seminars, putting together investor cocktail parties/dinners (out of my own pocket) and meeting with industry types, this site has provided me with more invaluable information than any of those others. So, Kudos and thank you very much. It's made a difference for those of us who have a more creative leaning and realize that to be successful there needs to be an understanding of the business of filmmaking even after spending years in the business."

Humbly,
Maurice Joshua

"I've been an avid Film Specific member for many years now. I just wanted to update you that my movie WHITE WALL is now finally released. We sold to 8 territories around the world and is now distributed by Well Go USA in NA. I applied what I learned from Film Specific in getting the best possible distribution deal. And I would like to thank you for all of your valuable advice."

Thanks,
