SELF-DEFENSE" AT UCLA June 3 & 4, 2006
Once a year Mark offers his class: Self-Defense for Writers and Independent Filmmakers: Protecting Your Legal Rights, at UCLA Extension.
Writers and filmmakers who are in charge of their own projects may be taken advantage of in their dealings with those whose experience is greater. For this reason, writers, directors, and producers must understand their legal rights and how to defend themselves against exploitation. In this intensive seminar, filmmakers learn how to anticipate problems before they arise in their negotiations with production and distribution companies and create incentives to encourage the companies to live up to their agreements, including performance incentives, default penalties, and arbitration clauses. In the event of an unresolvable dispute, participants learn what remedies are available to enforce their rights. Topics include creative approvals, typical terms of contracts, negotiating tactics and strategies, as well as how to properly secure rights to one's work and avoid being sued for copyright infringement, defamation or invasion of privacy.
To enroll in the course online, after February 15th, go to www.uclaextension.com and enter Course Reg#: R8427.
Or call Registration and General Information at: (310) 825-9971 or (818) 784-7006
The class is held on the UCLA main campus. Hours: Saturday 10-5 PM, Sunday 9-Noon. Location: Rolfe Hall
