We prefer to get to know our prospective clients before determining whether or not we can provide effective representation. We are open to reasonable communication via telephone, fax, or email, to find out what you want and need, whether we could assist, and whether or not we can work together. We engage in this preliminary communication at no cost to you, in order to determine whether or not we will be able to represent you, before undertaking any responsibility for you or your project.

        We provide detailed information on our experience, credits, and client base, and ask that you do the same. Next, we discuss your goals for your film, or other project, and how our services could complement your goals.

        We are interested in working with individuals who want solid business structures to support their creativity and who have, or want to have, a plan to effectively market their product in a manner which will have a chance to return investors’ money.

        While we provide a wide range of services to independent producers, independent filmmakers, musicians, singers, record labels and television producers we do not specialize in all aspects of the entertainment business. We routinely work with attorneys and others in the entertainment industry in California and other states when the need arises for special representation in areas such as producer representation for distribution, distributor financing (as opposed to private financing), and other areas.

        In assisting independent producers in financing their films, we have been very successful in preparing investment packages as Private Placement Offerings, which are structured to be investor friendly in a high risk investment scenario. While we try, within the applicable legal restrictions, to assist clients with investors, all of our existing investor contacts are proprietary to current clients, and we cannot promise to be able to bring investors to any given deal or project. After new investment packages are prepared, we support our clients by answering questions from, and meeting with, potential investors to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws regulating investor suitability and compliance with restrictions on non registered Private Placement Offerings.

        We prefer to have more than just a transactional or contract involvement with our clients, and enjoy assisting in the strategic development of long term goals in the entertainment business.
