Movie Industry
We counsel producers, actors, distributors and talent agents in the different phases of the creation of a movie.
We intervene in matters relating to the c.d. "Chain of title" and waivers to copyrights and image rights.
Our expertise covers development, option agreements, production and pre-production agreements (whether for film, television, or theater), distribution agreements, management agreements, recording deals, digital licensing, advertising deals, and merchandising agreements.
In the post-production phase we draw up contracts related to music synchronization and dubbing.
In this field, we have recently been involved in the following cases:
negotiation and assistance in the acquisition of the rights to the cinematographic exploitation of the Luneburg variant, by Paolo Maurensig
the negotiation and purchase of the rights to a novel by a famous Neapolitan writer for the making of a film
assistance in negotiating the directing contract for a first work
drafting of an agreement for the distribution of a documentary on the internet
assistance to a director in the execution of a "play or pay" clause.
