Hollywood Money Traps

Hollywood Money Traps pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood investment spaces in the world: film and television.

Drawing from over 30 years of real-world experience, Alexia Melocchi exposes the costly mistakes, hidden risks, and deceptive practices that trap investors—often before a film ever goes into production. Through gripping true stories of deals gone wrong, broken promises, and hard-earned lessons, this book reveals what every investor must know before writing a check.

This is not a book about how to raise money for films.
This is the book written for the people being asked to fund them.

If you’ve ever considered investing in entertainment—or already have—this guide will help you protect your money while still being part of the magic.
