5.0 out of 5 stars Irena Tully "Impulse Productions" www.impulsefilms.com, 6 Mar 2007
This book is invaluable to producers embarking on a new filmmaking venture, as it provides a clear understanding of entertainment dealmaking. It's also useful for writers, directors and actors since it covers all aspects of the film and television industry. It offers a myriad of detailed sample contracts and litigations, and spans subjects from copyright, purchasing rights, depiction & location releases, protection of titles, employment contracts, hiring crews, casting sessions, soundtracks & music rights, distribution agreements, trademarks, right of privacy, constitutional limitations, defences & privileges, remedies and basically every important attribute from early deal negotiations to final agreements

This book is invaluable to anyone embarking on a filmmaking venture, as it provides a clear understanding of and essential guidance to entertainment dealmaking. It initially saves producers a lot of money in legal fees and it's also essential for writers, directors and actors since it covers all aspects of the film and television industry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Book, 27 Nov 2004
By Michael Ambroziak - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dealmaking in the Film and Television Industry: From Negotiations to Final Contracts (Paperback)
This book is a handy reference for business and legal users. The text strikes a good balance between being useful as an informational reference and being overly encyclopedic. The forms reflect many good contracting practices. www.ambroziaklaw.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource, 13 May 2007
By Diana Lesmez "smartnfunny" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dealmaking in the Film and Television Industry: From Negotiations to Final Contracts (Paperback)
Comprehensive and a terrific resource. The goal is not to use the book instead of legal advice, but it is a terrific starting point.
