DCTV Presents Legal Clinic with Innes Smolansky:
ACQUIRING LIFE RIGHTS FOR DOCUMENTARY AND NARRATIVE FILMS
Monday, May 10th, 7:30pm
DCTV, 87 Lafayette Street, NYC
During the initial stages of a film's development, ideas are turned into scripts, people are turned into characters, and the idea of a film as property first takes shape. No matter the type of production a filmmaker seeks to make, in order for a film to be picked up by a distributor, the filmmaker must have the legal right to tell a subject's life story.
Join us as entertainment attorney Innes Smolansky leads this seminar that will explore the main points producers need to think through when negotiating Life Rights deals, including: asking for rights to produce one film or multiple, narrative or documentary, etc.; consultation services and film publicity services; getting the rights from the estate if the main subject is deceased; optimal payment structure; the term of the agreement; retaining producer attachment for future productions involving your subject, and much more.
