Hear from entertainment attorney Christine Fleury about the basic legal need-to-knows for indie filmmakers.

Documentary Filmmaker and Spelman Professor Anjanette Levert talks to Entertainment Attorney Christine Fleury about some common legal issues encountered in documentary filmmaking in this online event.

We will discuss:

Contracts: What do contracts do for you and when do you need them? when and how to have a conversation about compensation, expectations and how to put it in writing. In terms of contracts what makes the most sense? Is it a template deal memo, a customized MOU or a contract you create?

Business Entities: What business entity should your film be under LLC, S corp or C corp? How do they differ?

Licensing footage and what to take out and what to add into your contract.

How does AI factor into your interview/on camera releases and other contracts?
Do you really need a release for everything?

Join us virtually for a necessary convo for indie filmmakers, Tuesday, Dec 5th at 6:30 PM. Your RSVP, you'll be sent a zoom link for the talk. Free!
