Film Maker Package

As a film maker there are a number of basic agreements that you need to have in place to protect yourself as the film progresses, for example:

Hrbek Law can help you develop contracts that protect you as you make your film.  Without the proper agreements in place, your freedom to do what you want with the film will be compromised, and you may find that you do not even own all the rights in movie that you have made.  This can kill your project.  Put the legal protections in place before you invest your time, money and energy into a film production.

She has fundamentally changed the way I approach my valuation in the industry by removing the 'cringe factor' from discussions around compensation. She brings a charming touch of grace to negotiations representing my company's value and supporting its reputation while simultaneously securing fair and equitable compensation.
