Yes, filmmaking is a lot like building and buying a house. When me and my investor (who happens to be a homebuilder) talk with distributors and agents, we often use home building and home buying analogies to communicate ideas. I've often used homebuilding analogies to pitch movies to potential investors. There are lots of similarities. Russ producer/director of Fissure Thanks for the reference, Tom.

This reminds me a lot about that blog for the movie Fissure that I heard of from reading about it on this blog. Here's the link: Independent film reviews and distribution http://www.fissurethemovie.com/blog/finding-a-realtor/ By the way - that Fissure blog has a lot of great info for those who want to know the details to making a film.
