How to Avoid Them
New Webinar Announced! [Register Here](
Whether you have a finished film, a script, or the beginnings of an idea for a television program, this course will show you how to spot the top legal problems producers face⦠and give you a set of tools you can use to tackle them! We've brought in top entertainment & IP attorney Thomas A. Crowell, Esq. to teach the Stage 32 community.
Here's Some of What You'll Learn
The ten legal traps most likely to derail any production
- Weâll learn how to spot a decalogue of legal âredâ flags that can cost filmmakers headaches, money, and even loss of ownership of their films!
Key aspects of copyright law: âwork for hire,â and âfair useâ
- Copyright law can be tricky; we'll go over properly-drafted signed âwork for hireâ agreements showing a filmmakerâs ownership of her film, to ensure distributors do not reject your film. Distributors are also very ârisk adverseâ â a filmmakerâs over-reliance on âfair use,â may be a harbinger of litigation.
Critical deal points for option/purchase agreements
- Are you ready to buy that script outright? Of course not! You want to option the script first to see if you can raise the proper funding. Weâll take a look at important clauses which makes up a healthy option/purchase agreement.
Fundraising âsand trapsâ and how to avoid them
- Did you know that raising money the wrong way may expose you to both civil and criminal liability? Learn how to avoid frequent filmmaker financing mistakes.
Tips and tricks for negotiating with agents
- Negotiating with talent agents can be like swimming with sharks. Weâll discuss some techniques for âgetting to yesâ while staying inside the shark cage!
Q&A with Thomas - bring your questions!
This live online webinar takes place on Thursday, July 27 at 1pm PDT. If you can't make it live, don't worry! It will be recorded on-demand for you to watch.
