Hi , 

We always enjoy a lot of the interviews given on Stage 32 and think it's an inspirational and informative platform for all filmmakers. We wanted to share one of their interviews, You Don't Need Hollywood's Permission (or Money) to Make a Movie!

 

PJ Woodside and her partner have been making their own low budget horror flicks for 9+ years and she shares how they did it on almost no budget, while building a fan base, distribution and a reputation.  

 

She highlights 7 things that were crucial to their success and they are valuable pieces of insight. You never know when just one nugget of info is going to change your path - a simple click or light bulb in the brain is often the difference between a film that is seen vs one that never sees the light of the day.

 

Of particular interest to us is the mention of needing "releases about nearly everything or risk getting sued. The people, the crew, the images, the locations, the music -- having rights to everything prevented lots of headaches down the road."

 

This is why we created our Filmmaker Legal Pack. Without all legal docs, consents and releases to everything about your film, from everyone involved - lights, grips, talent, and yes, even the caterers - you have nothing in which to invest. And we're all about helping you make your film the best investment possible.

 

Our Filmmaker Legal Pack includes: 

• Script Purchase Agreement
• Script Option Agreement
• Music Release / Composer's Work For Hire Contract
• Cast and Crew Release Form
• Deferred Compensation Agreement
• Shooting Location Request & Release Agreement
• Life Rights Agreement
• Crowd Release Form
• + Bonuses: IP Rights and the Film Making Process Report, Expert Legal Reports & More

 

 

Podcast below is a bit painful to listen to, but does offer great info.

"Incredible information. An absolute gold mine for the independent filmmaker. Do yourself a big favor and order today!!!"
