Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New Jersey

looking to start a film production company.

I have just finished a script and need to

get it copywritten, to protect my

intellectual property. I also need help

with righta and clearences as this is an

''adult'' feature, thatr I hope will be

distributed in film festivals before

hitting DVD shelves, going against the

traditional type of release for this

genre. It is more about art, than

money, as well as changing the genre

and advancing my brand. SO, I guess I

also need a lawyer who is a bit of an

entertainment agent as well. I would

like to get started on all of this asap.

thank you in advance for your help.

Re: looking to start a film production company.

We can easily assist you with copyrighting your script. Regarding rights and clearances, these issues are typically handled once your script is optioned by a producer prior to production.

Although we do not act as an agent, in certain cases we will assist in shopping certain material. Please contact my office to discuss further.
