Film & Television

Every film project or television show starts with an idea and a vision for reaching audiences.

The process of writing, acquiring rights, securing financing, shooting, editing, and distributing a film can take years. Producers making content for broadcast television must also navigate the complexities of financing, licensing, and regulatory compliance – all while competing for eyes focused on digital platforms.

We counsel clients alongside high-profile talent agencies and in matters represented by some of Hollywood’s most reputable entertainment law firms.  We have experience working with SVOD streaming services; traditional studios; cable television networks; documentary filmmakers and unscripted television production companies, and local broadcast television stations.

We advise visionary writers, producers, and above-the-line and on-camera talent through the life cycle of Hollywood dealmaking, including:

• development

• financing

• production

• distribution of original content, including as production counsel for non-scripted programming

We assist clients with reviewing and negotiating:

• option rights and acquisition agreements

• producer agreements

• service provider agreements

• production services agreements

• talent attachment

• product placement/advertising agreements
