Producing entertainment content is a complicated business, and much as we live for the creative side of the profession, a good producer needs to know the nuts and bolts of the legal issues that confront content creators every day. Consider this your primer on essential topics like clearances and copyrights, on-set safety, contracts and deal memos, expectations of unions and guilds, exempt and non-exempt employees, and security and cybercrime. With so much of your time, energy and budget riding on every project, safeguarding yourself has never been more important.
