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 are represented free of charge on a range of transactional issues critical to any production, including the drafting and negotiation of talent, crew, and producer agreements; depiction releases; music, film clip, and artwork licenses; and other agreements depending on the context of the film and the needs of the filmmaker.
