Independent Narrative Films and Documentaries
Donaldson Callif Perez provides counsel in all aspects of independent filmmaking, including contracts, unions, financial planning, options, production, clearance, distribution, and tax rebates. Donaldson + Callif uses our expertise to provide advice and consultation in negotiating and drafting in these agreements, as well as assisting in the formation of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and advising clients on licensing, sponsorship, fair use and other copyright, personal rights and trademark issues.
We worked on over 50% of the documentaries screened at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and 10% of the nominated films, plus the Oscar-winning ICARUS.
