About Clearance & Copyright, 4th Edition: Everything You

Product Description Clearance and Copyright is the  industry-standard guide to almost every conceivable rights issue that filmmakers, videomakers, television producers, and Internet content creators might encounter.  From the initial acquisition of material through the rights issues that arise during preproduction, production, postproduction, and release, this legalese-free guide--now  extensively revised, updated, and expanded--will help you protect yourself and your work from disastrous legal actions.  Among this edition's new features are  links to 25 downloadable contracts and 50 illustrative film clips.  Michael C. Donaldson is a Los Angeles-based, entertainment lawyer with more than 45 years of experience in copyright and entertainment issues. He has been called the Obi-Wan Kenobi of Fair Use by the American Bar Association Journal. Lisa A. Callif was named by The Daily Journal as one of the Top 100 Women Lawyers in California (2014). Her primary focus is on representing independent filmmakers. Review "If you only buy one book to guide you through the various challenges facing you as a filmmaker, this is that book. With great clarity, it covers subjects that are simply not covered in any other book and answers questions you may not have even thought to ask." --- John Welsh, President of Film Independent   "Everything you need to know about clearance and copyright is in this book, a must for everyone in the film business." --- Barbara Boyle, Associate Dean of Entrepreneurial Activities and Special Initiatives, UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television   "'Let's make a movie.' It's never that simple. Donaldson + Callif have written an invaluable book on the A to Z of pitfalls that all independent filmmakers should be aware of before they start to shoot one frame of film. Essential reading." --- Piers Handling, Director and CEO, Toronto International Film Festival   "If you are serious about producing, the information contained in this book is invaluable. I'll revisit in time and time again." --- Jon Gerrans, Co-President, Strand Releasing " Finally, there is one place to go for all the answers." --- Geoffrey Gilmore, Director of Film Festival, Sundance Institute   "Entertainingly written and surprisingly accessible, this thorough, thoughtful presentation of all rights-clearance and copyright issues should be required reading for all independent filmmakers. The book lays everything out in ways that will save countless directors and producers endless grief and expense." --- Darryl Macdonald, Seattle International Film Festival "Donaldson provides an  indispensable guided tour  of an area of law-filled with landlines - that filmmakers cannot afford to ignore. A wealth of information is presented in a clear, accessible, and even friendly manner. Read it once for background, then keep it for reference." --- Marcie Bloom, Sony Pictures Classics About the Author Michael C.
