Good book - no CD

Customer Rating:

I was led to believe that this book came with a CD. I'm kicking myself because I got the book and found no CD in it! That's primarily why I bought it. The CD with the contracts on it is much more expensive so you better be a good typist and recreate the contracts. The good part of the book though is that it really does help to explain all of the hard to understand parts of the contracts so I am still glad I bought it, but was still hugely disappointed that it didn't come with the contracts.

Should come with the cd

Customer Rating:

A good, albeit US centric book, with some handy contracts. Unfortunately the digital version of these contracts are only available buy paying much more seperately. Would be nice if these were included or downloadable.

Great!

Customer Rating:

Although he is based in L.A. and this book can throw New Yorkers off a tad, Litwak offers great information, clean and concise. Could not ask for more. Happy with the purchase and do recommend this to anyone needing these types of contracts. Although I do wish his CD (with these contracts) was alot more cheaper than what it is going for now.

For those serious about producing

Customer Rating:

Good basic legal information oriented towards the independent feature film producer but useful for anyone who wants to produce film or other distributed video. Won't replace having an attorney but will allow you to do some things by yourself and understand what is going on when you need to hire one. Similar to "The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide" but with enough distinct material (example contracts for instance) to be worth having both.

Excellent resource

Customer Rating:

Comprehensive and a terrific resource. The goal is not to use the book instead of legal advice, but it is a terrific starting point.
