Entertainment Attorney Paige Williams
Making a great film is only one piece of the puzzle. Understanding the deals, contracts, and legal decisions behind it can be just as important to getting your project made, sold, and into the hands of an audience. But for many independent filmmakers, navigating the legal and business side of the industry can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re excited to welcome entertainment attorney Paige Williams for this month’s FREE Filmmaker Power Hour!
Don't miss this event where Paige will pull back the curtain on the legal and business side of the film industry—from sales and distribution to deal structures and the agreements that shape a film’s path to audiences. Whether you’re preparing your first feature or looking to better understand the business behind filmmaking, you’ll walk away with practical insights you can use on your own projects.
