Documentary Filmmaker/Production Agreements

December 1, 2012 by stefan

Our Filmmaker/Production Agreements, which includes the Documentary Filmmaker Package and the Reality TV, Digital Project, and Online Content Creator Package, will give you a great start at protecting your production. I have drafted the agreements in the packages based on my experience in the film and TV industry.

It is essential to know all of the potential areas that your project may encounter. One or more of the following can apply to any audiovisual production: structuring financing, executing script options or making acquisition deals, protecting intellectual property, reviewing screenplays for potential legal issues, clearing rights, drafting agreements for talent, crew, location, equipment, props, or other miscellaneous matters, reviewing rough cuts to identify potential legal issues, drafting opinion letters for errors and omissions insurance, negotiating distribution agreements, and monitoring contractual obligations.

I have served (IMDB) as legal counsel on projects for close to 20 years. Much of my experience has been servicing as Production Counsel to documentary filmmakers, reality TV producers, digital projects, and online content creators. I have also taught legal affairs to aspiring producers at New York Film Academy.

What can I say about Richard other than he is an awesome guy and truly a pleasure to work with. I’ve known Richard for a few years and he is my “GUY TO TURN TO” for all things entertainment law. I’ve worked with him on reality tv show deals and other entertainment projects. He is one of the most honest and reliable lawyers I have ever had a chance to work with”
