 Excellent resource May 13, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Comprehensive and a terrific resource. The goal is not to use the book instead of legal advice, but it is a terrific starting point.

This book is invaluable to anyone embarking on a filmmaking venture, as it provides a clear understanding of and essential guidance to entertainment dealmaking. It initially saves producers a lot of money in legal fees and it's also essential for writers, directors and actors since it covers all aspects of the film and television industry. It offers a myriad of detailed sample contracts and litigations, and spans subjects from copyright, purchasing rights, depiction & location releases, protection of titles, employment contracts, hiring crews, casting sessions, soundtracks & music rights, distribution agreements, trademarks, right of privacy, constitutional limitations, defences & privileges, remedies and basically every important attribute from early deal negotiations to final agreements. www.impulsefilms.com

This book is a handy reference for business and legal users. The text strikes a good balance between being useful as an informational reference and being overly encyclopedic. The forms reflect many good contracting practices. www.ambroziaklaw.com.
