Any recommendations for what software to use when writing a film business plan?
I've just graduated from the world of no-budget micro guerrilla filmmaking to the modified low budget $200,000-$800,000 project range.
I hired a Line Producer with strong credits to do the schedule and budget (have come to appreciate that investors want to see a sched and budget breakdown by someone with experience so they can trust the numbers).
I've read a few books about business plans for film but so many seem outdated so I'm piecing together the steps through different more up-to-date articles and blog posts.
If anyone has any recommendations for sites or articles on business plans, that would be great! Also, do I write this thing in Microsoft Word or Apple's Pages or what (please don't say excel please don't say excel please don't say excel...)?
