NEGOTIATING TALENT AND PRODUCTION AGREEMENTS FOR FILM AND TELEVISION

Through a deal-focused and practice-oriented approach, the course examines the core agreements that drive Hollywood transactions, including rights acquisition agreements, writer and producer agreements, and actor and director deals for film and television (including digital media) and the key issues that arise on both sides of the deal.
