More than a labor of love, making a movie requires time and money. The creative process is vital, but without legal agreements in place you may not even own your film.
 
The Indie Film Clinic provides free legal services to qualifying New York filmmakers producing independent, documentary, and student films. All clients of the Clinic are represented free of charge on a range of legal issues critical to any production, including: copyright research, registrations, and assignments; guild registrations; drafting and negotiating writer's agreements, employment agreements, and intellectual property licenses; location agreements and permits; depiction releases; and more.
