10:00 am-12:00 p.m.: Film Business is Show Business (Attorney Rebecca Smith and SAC Professor James Borrego)
There are many things to consider when starting a production company for the purpose of producing a film. Should all filmmakers start a formalized business? Do you plan on creating a film to sell? What legal issues should be considered? Intellectual properties, contacts, partnerships, insurance and legal liabilities, business loans, taxes (to name a few). How difficult is it to set up an LLC? Costs? Are there any free resources to help? We’lll walk you through the process and create a fictional production company as an example, to possibly create some common legal issue and show how the LLC works. Q&A follows.
