Film Industry Contracts

The one hundred and sixteen (116) sample film industry agreements set out below are made available here primarily for educational purposes (i.e., anyone who reads and/or studies these documents will have a better understanding of how the film industry actually works. Preparation or use of such agreements without consulting with an experienced entertainment, or in some cases, a securities attorney with experience in the film industry, involves a high level of risk. The sample agreements are organized into six broad categories: (1) acquisition/development, (2) packaging, (3) lender financing, (4) investor financing, (5) production documentation and (6) distribution/licensing. This collection of attorney-prepared film industry agreements may be the most comprehensive collection of film industry agreements  made available to independent producers and attorneys to date. However, these contracts are merely  “SAMPLE CONTRACTS”, (i.e., they are not “standard contracts”, “fill-in-the-blank contracts”, “state-of the art contracts”, “custom contracts”  or “form contracts” with commentary and alternative language. They have been prepared for use by parties and in situations that are likely to differ from your circumstances.  Any use beyond learning about how such transactions commonly work in the film industry should be in conjunction with the advice of an attorney experienced in the specific transaction for which the document is intended.
