ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER INTERVIEW WITH MELISSA DAGODAG
Entertainment law is not something that many filmmakers know or probably even consider when making their films. And as our conversation with Entertainment Lawyer Melissa Dagodag reveals, it is more important than you think.
WHAT DOES AN ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER DO?
As Dagodag explains, the main function of an entertainment lawyer in the filmmaking process is to ensure that everything is protected legally and that nothing in the film itself will encounter any legal disputes. This includes everything from getting a screenplay copyright protected, having the cast and crew contracts in hand, to clearing copyright issues.
This is crucial when it comes to selling or licensing a film for distribution. No distributor wants to inherit a film that will come with legal problems and that’s why they insist on a “chain of title” that guarantees everything is on the up and up. Imagine spending months or years putting a film together, actually finishing it to only then realize it can’t be bought or distributed.
Just because entertainment law is outside the purview of most filmmakers' knowledge and expertise doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter. It just means that you need a professional Entertainment Lawyer like Melissa Dagodag to be on your team from the beginning.
