Pre-Production Agreements

Pre-production lays the foundation for a smooth and successful media project. At D’Alessio Law, we help clients understand and secure the agreements needed to support both the creative vision and business structure of their projects.

Key types of pre-production agreements include:

  • Confidentiality Agreements: Safeguard sensitive information shared during meetings, auditions, and script readings.
  • Talent Agreements: Secure commitments from actors, directors, and other key personnel, outlining roles, responsibilities, and compensation.
  • Location Agreements: Ensure access to and use of physical locations for shooting, detailing the terms and conditions of use.
  • Copyright Permissions: Obtain the necessary rights to use existing works, music, scripts, or other intellectual property crucial to your project, including script options and underlying rights acquisition for existing material.

By carefully drafting and reviewing these agreements, we help you establish a secure legal base, ensuring that your creative and business interests are protected as your project progresses. 

Production Agreements

Production agreements are essential to managing the day-to-day realities of a media project. These contracts keep the many moving parts of production legally aligned and running smoothly. At D’Alessio Law, we draft agreements that protect your project’s integrity, budget, and timelines.

Essential production agreements include:

  • Crew Contracts: Define the roles, responsibilities, and compensation of all production staff to prevent misunderstandings and ensure compliance with labor laws.
  • Equipment Rental Agreements: Secure the necessary equipment for production, specifying rental terms to avoid potential disputes and ensure availability.
  • Insurance Policies: Essential for mitigating risks associated with accidents, equipment damage, or unforeseen delays, providing coverage that protects the production’s financial health.
  • Location Releases: These ensure all filming done on location is legally cleared for use in your project.

For union productions, we also advise on compliance with SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA guidelines to ensure all agreements meet industry standards.

Through precise and comprehensive drafting of these agreements, D’Alessio Law helps you maintain control over production logistics. By managing the legal complexities, we enable you to focus on the creative execution of your project.

Distribution and Sales

Distribution and sales agreements are crucial for transforming your finished media project into a commercial success. At D’Alessio Law, we focus on crafting agreements that maximize your project’s reach and profitability while safeguarding your creative and financial interests. 

These agreements carefully outline the distribution rights, ensuring your project is shown in the right markets and on the appropriate platforms, whether through streaming services, broadcast networks, theatrical release, or international sales. They also define revenue-sharing arrangements to ensure profits are fairly distributed among all stakeholders.

Additionally, we establish licensing terms that protect your intellectual property while allowing for broad market exposure. Through strategic negotiations, we help you leverage your creative work for long-term financial success.
