I’m honored to have been asked to speak about the law and business of screenwriting at The Great American PitchFest in Los Angeles, this Saturday, June 26th.
http://www.pitchfest.com/
I’ll be covering screenwriting topics that include: what is copyright protectable material, WGA versus U.S. Copyright registration, when a writer needs life rights or story rights, pre-pitch/pre-submission hold harmless agreements and a discussion of option/sale agreements.
Beyond my presentation, the PitchFest has a host of excellent lectures for screenwriters, as well as the opportunity to pitch to established production companies, managers and agents. An excellent opportunity for aspiring screenwriters.
I hope to see you there!
