If you are a creative person, with a great idea for a movie, (and who isn’t), new technology allows you to shoot your film on video pretty darn inexpensively. But assuming you eventually want to make money, and get the film seen, there are a lot of business details that need to be taken care of. (A lot.)

Recognizing that creative people generally don’t know about the legal and business side of independent filmmaking, attorney Mukesh M. Patel has set up a practice geared to the first-time filmmaker. Come learn what it takes to keep your production on track legally, before and after production. The session will deal with issues such as investors, deferred payments, distribution agreements, music rights, and many other issues that can derail the best creative concept. Don’t miss it.
