Film Financing and Distribution 

1.5 hours CA MCLE available

Program: Join CLA and Encino Lawyers Association for an overview of how film financing and distribution works. From development funds to completion loans and everything in between, learn how a film project receives  financing and the legal framework that drives the process. We’ll then explore the elements of a distribution deal - the demands from both sides of the table and the usual contract language.
