This is a great book for independent film producers who need to get up to speed quickly on the “business of film.”
This book takes a different approach than most entertainment law books. Instead of simply throwing a bunch of boilerplate contracts into the book, this author actually walks you through the legal timeline of a project. It’s kind of like Entertainment Law for Dummies and it’s very engaging and easy to read. A great reference guide as well.
This is a really good book with much info, and at a really good price, too!
This book is a great help and a fantastic reference. I refer to this book all the time. I usually can just open up the book to find the answer to whatever legal question I’m looking for.
My copy is all beat up and dog eared.. I never read it straight through, just skipped around to the stuff I want to know about. If I have a question, I know the answer is in there. It’s more than just law, It’s a guide to be in this business.
Plus, it’s easy to understand. The copyright section helped me out the most.
I have produced things before, but life would’ve been easier with this book. They should require this book in film classes.
I was so hesitant about this book. I was thinkig “Pocket Lawyer?” Great, like a mini-dictionary that the Starbucks writer crowd uses and still attept to look cool with.
No, I was wrong. The information in this book is not only necessary, but vital. If you want to be a producer, this is the no-nonsense bible you’ve been looking for. It’s straight forward and clear. The language isn’t dense. Rather, it’s helpful.
This is a book that can help you make the transition from, “Producering” to PRODUCER. It honestly is the real deal.
