Hollywood Dealmaking: Negotiating Talent Agreements for Film, TV, and Digital Media (Third Edition)

Book came in great condition! I bought it for an Entertainment Law class that I am taking. I am not an MBA student taking this law course, and the book makes it easy to understand how lawyers work in the entertainment industry. It's easy to read and has many examples to help readers understand how talent contracts work in the film and television industry. You don't need to take a law class to understand the concepts, making it a very valuable book. So, if you are an actor, writer, or film enthusiast who wants to learn how the "industry" works. I highly recommend reading this book so you are not blindsided when the time comes for you to sign a contract with a studio or agency.

IT WORKS! being a new independent filmmaker. I need a way to step up my film level. This book gave me a way to stand up to be a leader. Read it slowly, learn it, get the film out. I love making films! Now I love making film deals! A must have on your film and art shelf.

Read this for law school. Pretty good

Hollywood Dealmaking: Negotiating Talent Agreements for Film, TV, and Digital Media provides an in-depth guide to the world of deal-making for the creative artist. More than a "How-to" this book includes standard mock contract across multiple genres. It contains all the right language so anyone can communicate with the deal-makers with some appearance of knowledge.

I really enjoyed reading this book! It had a lot of information that is necessary to fully understand this industry. I am sure I will be referring back to the information I learned in this book for years.

This book is the ultimate resource for properly negotiating and structuring talent agreements in the entertainment industry.

This is the go-to book for individuals seeking entry into the entertainment industry and current industry professionals who want to sharpen their negotiation skills. An excellent resource for law students and professors. The book is well written and details the changing landscape of the entertainment industry in terms of emerging digital platforms.
