		<description><![CDATA[Most people who want to make movies run into two areas of difficulty: 1.  Creative (screenplays, actors, crew, equipment, etc.) 2.  Administrative (contracts, forms, money-raising, etc.) The film industry is changing so rapidly (mostly due to technological developments and audience viewing habits) that today’s answers might not be accurate even a month from now.
