"The intricacies and details of the legal aspects of theater are skillfully and precisely outlined in this book.  It's not an easy task, and the authors spell everything out so clearly that even this non-lawyer can understand it all!  I was very impressed by how easily things are explained, and I can think of no better guide to help anyone through every step needed in producing for the theater."

Theodore S. Chapin
President, The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization

"The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law is just that -- and is worth its weight in gold."

Gray Frederickson
Film Educator and a Producer of Godfather II (Academy Award), Apocolypse Now, and The Outsiders

"Steve Monas is one of the top lawyers in the independent film distribution business, and he has brought his thirty-plus years of experience to bear in his chapter on Motion Picture distribution. Clear and concise, practical and interesting, filled with practical tips derived from actual sample agreements, this chapter will be of use to practitioners interested in developing expertise in these types of transactions, and even experienced attorneys will find it informative. It is so well-written that I plan to assign it to my motion picture seminar students, as soon as available."

Jay Dougherty
Professor of Law & Director, Entertainment/Media Law Institute & Concentration Program Loyola Law School (Los Angeles)

"Anyone with an interest in this specialized field of law would be wise to have this worthy book on their shelf.  It covers pretty much everything dealmakers in our industry are frequently concerned about with insightful commentary, identifying the applicable laws and providing a host of helpful advice based on experience. Well done!”

David Baldacci
Best-selling Author of more than 24 novels, including Absolute Power (made into the Clint Eastwood film)

"Since film financing has become a global challenge more so than a local endeavor, the overview and insights presented by Robert Williams in his chapter addressing motion picture financing provides precious and unique information for all industry experts.  Thank you and well done, Robert!"
