Week 4 EOC Progress Toward My 4 Professional Contacts

I have had some progress toward gathering together my 4 professional contacts. I have a regular banker that I work with so she has agreed to talk to me about what is necessary for a filmmakers such as myself to secure financing from a bank. I already have her business card and hope to have the meeting scheduled by next week.
Second, I dont know any lawyers here in vegas so I will have to look one up in either the yellow pages or online. I am hoping to find one that knows his way around the film industry or can at least point me in the correct direction. Vegas has a plethora of seasoned lawyers in the entertainment industry Im sure. Having a good attorney to make sure the film is running on all the proper legal outlets is imperative if it makes money.
Third I will be meeting with my insurance agent who handles my rental, car, and equipment insurance. Again the meeting is to get myself pointed in the correct direction to find an insurance company that handles clients in film related field. Insurance is one of the most important parts of the pre-production process because of if something happens to personal or equipment the production could be sunk before it ever gets started.
The most important role of the pre-production, production, and post-production process is the account. Their the person that know where the money is coming from and going to. They keep track of all the records and purchases along with balancing the books. I still need to find someone that knows the ins and outs of the accounting for a film project.
