The Producers Forum Presents:
The more legal knowledge a producer has the lower their legal fees will be. Therefore you cant afford to miss the next event from The Producers Forum, which is an opportunity to grow your own legal knowledge.
On Wednesday 26 November 2008 The Producers Forum will be running an event that will look at all documentation that is required for closing finance on a film, de-mystifying the legal jargon and explaining to producers how they can save themselves huge legal fees by becoming more familiar with their role and responsibility when closing finance. The session will also look at what legal documents are required for the delivery of a film. The seminar will use real templates and examples of actual legal situations and will be led by Hannah Woodthorpe from law firm, Sheridans. Hannah Woodthorpe advises on film and television production and finance, including co-productions, UK and international sales and distribution, the acquisition of underlying rights and development matters. Hannahs clients include producers of television programming, feature films and documentaries and she has experience of various finance structures including the new UK film tax credit. The seminar will be followed by 10 minute 1 to 1 sessions with Hannah to discuss individual film projects. These will be available on a first come, first serve basis to subscribed Forum members.
