The American Bar Association's Legal Guide to Independent Filmmaking is the authoritative handbook you need to lead you through the legal morass of producing an independent film, from the moment you get the crazy idea to do such a thing, through financing, development, principal photography, distribution, and the too-often overlooked subject of delivery. Each chapter contains a general road map for the phase of filmmaking covered by that chapter, including the relevant forms and contracts, which come with plenty of explanatory info and some select negotiating tips.
This Legal Guide to Independent Filmmaking is perfect for entertainment and intellectual property lawyers; art, design, trade, and law schools; and burgeoning artists with an idea, in need of a guide to get them to inception. Its a practical, prescriptive form book for legal professionals and burgeoning filmmakers and includes a CD-ROM with all the contracts, employment and nondisclosure agreements, and licensing deals you'll need.

"This invaluable and detailed guide is such a perennial resource, you'll want to thank the book for not charging you by the hour."

"This book makes clear what can be awfully daunting for any filmmaker. And - in a time when taking control of the destiny of one's film is more critical than ever - this book can be a filmmaker's lifesaver."
-Dawn Hudson, Executive Director, Film Independent
"Short of hiring Donaldson and Callif, this book is a filmmaker's best way to learn all the varied legal strategies involved in making movies; as such it is a veritable road map for both the novice and the experienced professional who requires up-to-date legal facts and forms, as well as expert professional legal advice. "
-Frank P. Tomasulo, Ph.D., Adjunct Full Professor, Independent Film, City College of New York, City University of New York
