Financing Your IndieFilm

Okay, everybody, we're all artists, right? We hate finance! Well, perhaps that's one reason why only 1000 or so independent films get produced in the USA each year, and also why only 400 of those ever get theatrical distribution. Filmmaking is a nerve-wracking combination of art and business, so we at Indiefilms are thrilled that LA lawyer John Cones has agreed to let us share some of his extensive knowledge about the latter with us.

Licensed to practice law in the states of California and Texas, John Cones maintains a private solo practice advising independent feature film, video and television producer clients regarding federal and state securities law compliance obligations in passive investor corporate, limited partnership and investment contract offerings and related entertainment law matters. He prepares the "camera ready" offering disclosure documents for such offerings, serves as a liaison to managing and selling broker/dealers and prepares or aids his clients in negotiating entertainment contracts, including feature film distribution agreements.
