Don't You Want Good Legal Information
At Every Step of the Writing and Production Process?

Laws about rights and contracts can be complicated. Unless your legal work is right, you won't be able to sell your film or screenplay. With all the time and hard work you put in, do you want to take that risk?

As an experienced professional, you already know that the best time to figure out the legal part is before you start, because preventing a problem costs a lot less than fixing one.

At the average film school these days, the cost of a single course-hour is $1,300 or more! They teach you the art and science of filmmaking, but who teaches you the legal and business side?

Lawyers Are Expensive. And Necessary.
But What If You Can't Afford One?

Qualified motion picture industry attorneys typically charge from $350 to $500 per hour, if you can even get in to see one. And the cost of NOT having the right attorney can cost you even more in potential lawsuits!

Good attorneys are well worth it in the time and trouble they can save you. But can you afford those rates? If not ...

Now You Have An Alternative ...

"These lectures are priceless!!
Like having a top-notch lawyer in your back pocket. The money they have saved me in legal fees can now go towards my production."


— Robyn Bliley, Producer/Director, Circus Rosaire


 

"Keith Cooper has created an amazing course on the legal issues that are involved with producing or executive producing a film. The content is wonderful and the graphics are excellent. While the information is – by its very nature – complicated, Cooper manages to present it in a way that is easy to comprehend. The graphics offer amazing support to the learning process.

Best of all, you get far more information than you could ever get from sitting with an attorney for the same amount of (billable) hours!
Don't even think about getting started before watching this valuable set of DVDs!"


— Catherine Clinch, CEO, Nuclear Family Films

"Finished watching the first DVD [Setting Up Your Company], but I want to repeat it again before I move on. While I already knew most of the content, I was still greatly impressed by how much I needed reminding on. And I really appreciated the Independent Contractor/Employee discussion. Very good to know all that and appreciated the perspective Mr. Cooper gave it. Just that section alone was worth the series price!

When professional filmmakers say they "already know this stuff," they might -- BUT no one filmmaker can remember all of this himself. That's why it's so great to have the information in this 4-DVD course.
It saves you the cost of a consultation and pays for itself in no time."


— Dave Gregory, producer/director, Galaxie Entertainment Company


 

 

"I attended one of the top graduate film programs in the nation. When I graduated, I felt that my understanding of film law was the equivalent of 3 pieces of a 10-piece jigsaw puzzle. After seeing the Keith Cooper videos, I felt like I got those other 7 pieces, solid!"


— Grant R. Sheehan, screenwriter-producer


 

 

 

"These videos contain crucial, incredibly valuable information.
I feel enlightened after experiencing the series,
and will continue to use the information for the rest of my career.
WORTH EVERY PENNY!!"
