MARK TO TEACH “SELF-DEFENSE” AT UCLA JUNE 12-13
This weekend, Mark will be at UCLA teaching “Self-Defense for Independent Filmmakers: Protecting Your Legal Rights” In this intensive weekend 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. To enroll in the course online, go to www.uclaextension.com and enter Course Reg # Q3515U.
