An entertainment lawyer who works with independent film makers, production companies, sales agents, producer representatives, and distributors from development to distribution can guide you away from future pitfalls and help insure that your finished product can be released.
This is not a complete list, but considerations for your project should include:- Entity formation and business structure
- Securing the intellectual property created or acquired through the development process and maintaining the chain of title
