He has counselled 36 film & tv projects, including Blackberry, Seven Veils, Humane, and many more. In this conversation, we dive into his journey and the world of movie-making. While having a strong story matters, it is important also to understand how to make a "successful" film, from a legal and business perspective. Using the example of an independent film with less than 5 million in funding, we explore what is needed to get a film off the ground, including what legal protections you should have in place, the intricacies of film financing, attracting talent (both in front of and behind the camera), maximizing distribution opportunities, and more. Lastly, as this was recorded during the writer & actor strikes, we discuss two main sticking points in those conversations - the future of residuals and AI in film and television.
