"When Warner Bros. took a pass on his latest film, The Ides of
March, Clooney refused to give up. Instead of jumping off a
bridge or the dock at his home in Lake Como, he sauntered
down to the annual American Film Market (AFM) and started to
pitch his project to an endless succession of buyers from
around the world. Within a short time he and his writing partner
had cobbled together $12.5-million in presales from
international distributors which was enough to pay for his film."

business since the recession hit in 2008."
