About the Blog
This blog has grown out of the weekly Movies and Money segments that air on the nationally syndicated television show First Business. As the show's movie industry analyst since June, 2008, I analyze the movie business each Friday by delving into the new releases and exploring interesting economic story lines and hot topics of the day connected to those movies. Past segments have explored release patterns, product placement, film festivals, niche films, financing, movie boycotts, marketing strategies and new technologies to name just a few. This forum will give me the opportunity to write longer pieces and to expand on my televsion segments, which will be posted for viewing each Friday. I will also be posting content at various times during the week and would like to hear what you think about any of the topics being discussed or anything you would like to see in future shows and blogs.
