Join the Cardozo Entertainment Law Society, the Intellectual Property Law Society, and the FAME Center as they examine whether Hollywood’s obsession with franchises is hurting or helping the entertainment industry.

After a summer that started with the Super Mario Bros. movie and ended with the Barbie movie, this panel examines if Hollywood’s obsession with franchises is killing creativity, the movie star, the writers’ room, and the industry at large. Led by lawyers in the tv/film and branding industries, this panel aims to teach about the legal framework that allows for these franchises and how lawyers can provide for protections and allowances in contracts.

Panelists:

Andrew Raider Wood, Senior Media & Entertainment Counsel at Romano Law

Ke'andra Levingston, Business Affairs Executive at WME

Drew Tawiah, Assistant General Counsel at the Beanstalk Group
