I’m a writer that was able to get one commissioned script last year, and have been working since then to pitch this new one. However, my agent claims to have trouble pitching this new concept, and that only the same roster of producers who liked my first script were willing to take this on again. I l...ater found out that my agent only pitched to the same producers and packaged this with other actors without my consent, hoping to get an additional cut when the deal pushes through. Dropping that agent, I consulted the expert entertainment lawyers at Blake and Wang instead. With their experience and connections, they were able to get me exposure with bigger names in the industry, and as a result, more studios were itching to commission my script.

As a producer, I never want to be caught off guard on anything about my film projects - it would cost me the entire film. That’s why Blake and Wang isn’t just an afterthought, I make sure the firm is in every stage of filming and production. I consult the lawyers as we did script read-throughs an...d pre-production meetings, to account for any violations in contracts or labor laws. All contracts - from production houses and crew, to talents and extras, have their express sign-off before anything else. I bring them with me on location as they negotiate for me the best rates for film scenes, and join meet and greets and contract signing with directors to assess job fit, legally and financially. They even get the first viewing of the full film before it gets released, going through all scenes with a fine tooth comb to make sure all copywriting and proper releases on screen have been filed. Having them check the details allows me to manage the film easily. Thanks, Blake and Wang!
