Documentary Toolkit

FWRV has 50 years of experience counseling makers of documentaries and other non-fiction video in every project phase: Financing (negotiating deal terms with investors and co-producers; negotiating and drafting agreements); Production (negotiating deal terms with production team members; negotiating and drafting agreements; guiding content creation); Content Review (reviewing legal compliance, including libel, privacy and fair use for E&O application); and Distribution (finding distribution; negotiating and drafting agreements).

At documentarytoolkit.com, we will share with the documentary/non-fiction community practical ideas from business and legal perspectives covering these topics and more.  You are invited to sign up for our free blog by sending an email to [email protected] with “subscribe” in the subject box.  The posts also will be available on this web page and via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
