Anyone planning to sign up for the class?

Looks like awesome information (including the accompanying consultation), but worth the $399 price tag? I know some of this information is already available on the website, but having everything laid out in one place, templates, consultation, and free membership are definitely appealing.
 
I don't at all think that's worth it, but I have a business education and have written many business plans for both real world use and homework assignments. If you just care about the actual plan format, your local community college probably has a class catered towards writing plans. Keep in mind that you aren't trying to get capital from other filmmakers, but from investors who likely work in a number of different industries. So the format is never specific to film, just the content. The part about distribution strategies could be useful. Whether or not it's actually worth the price tag for you personally depends entirely on what you expect to get out of it.
 
I'm thinking the information regarding responsible sales projections, repayment schedules, etc., and plans a and b would be especially informative.
 
I've been a member for several years and the information is always insightful and quite specific to different project types and genres. Stacey was instrumental in my getting a sales agent to rep my film. Even though I don't have a project in development, I remain a member to stay up to date with the changes that happen in the market - it's a wild wild west and having someone with sales and distribution insight is always valuable.
