The laws of movie-making explains the basic legal and business principles behind producing and distributing an independent feature film. This book discusses ways of conceptualising an economically viable idea for a film and procuring financial investment, warns of the pitfalls of production and simplifies the intricacies of international distribution, while showing you how to limit your legal liabilities. It is intended not only for film students and future film producers, but also for lawyers and entrepreneurs who are eager to understand the mechanisms of the film industry.
