SFV Business Services Fast-Tracks Budding Indy Producers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Fernando, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2011 -- Chatsworth, California – Getting into the movie industry has always been a hit or miss proposition, and many budding producers have been frustrated in achieving their goals. “B” movie Actress Linda Roberts has launched a fast track solution for those that want to get in the game, SFV Business Services [http://sfvbusinessservices.com].

SFV Business Services provides strategy and guidance for those hoping to build their own San Fernando Valley style entertainment empires. Roberts said, “Over the past few years, hundreds of independent production companies have launched, yet only a handful have succeeded. There aren’t many industry professionals that are willing to mentor newcomers, and unless you have been an industry insider for awhile, you can never understand the intricacies of what it takes to be successful. It takes a lot more than a great idea to succeed in this industry. You have to know everything from how to put together the actual production to how to package and market your product.”

Not a business school or course, SFV Business Services was created to immerse fledgling producers in the realities of the San Fernando Valley entertainment industry, by sharing the knowledge of real industry professionals. Along with business consultation services to support new producers every step of the way, SFV Business Services offers a professional network comprised of top industry professionals who have proven experience in every aspect of production, delivery and marketing for the finished product.

“My goal is to bring together industry professionals and those that are interested in getting into the industry,” explains Roberts. “The idea has been brewing in my mind for at least three years, and I decided now is the right time to offer this type of service. I drafted my good friend, Sherry Ziegelmeyer of publicity firm Black and Blue Media, as a partner in this. Then we started building a network of amazing directors, cinematographers, editors and directors that we can access to increase the success rate of people who are interested in getting into the industry as producers.”

Ziegelmeyer supports Roberts’ timing in launching SFV Business Services now, even with the over all decline in video sales, “Interest from people outside the entertainment industry in becoming producers has been building steadily for the past five years or so. There are many start-up business courses and production workshops out there that support Linda’s and my beliefs in the amount of interest that exists. However, during the past year there has been a trend toward people wanting someone who will actively help them build their business, so they didn’t have to do it on their own. When Linda broached this concept with me, I had to agree that her idea of introducing these new producers to experienced industry professionals and getting them on their way to actually producing content is timely.”
