"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,

And I would like to thank you for all of your valuable advice."
