Media Production Agreements

This text sets out contract precedents, from the acquisition of source rights and programme material through production and co-production agreements to distribution. The precedents are on the right hand page and explanations, alternatives and caveats relating to difficult clauses and legalese on the left hand side. The sequence of the book reflects the legal structure of a film or television programme, and aims to help producers make better deals and further understanding of complex legal issues. It should be of interest to producers, broadcasters, agents, business managers in film and television, and lawyers.
