One was an adaptation of a novel; one was for a documentary; and the third one was a treatment for a reality television series. Your forms are easy to use and extremely helpful, especially in reducing legal fees.'' |

| ''I have always found prepared agreements, which have traditionally been available to the legal community but not always so to the general public, to be invaluable to prospective businesses, including filmmakers, by providing an overview of what to expect when going into the entertainment agreement minefield. It can save enormous amounts of time and money, resources that are so precious to an independent filmmaker, even when utilizing an attorney's services, by arming the client with the basics of such agreements''. |

| ''The Indie Legal Docs CD enables you to think through the structure and details of your contracts and work effectively with your legal counsel (big time and money saver). Remember the advice of Stanley Kubrick 'When a film project is successfully initiated, produced and completed, all aspects of the production must be done right, from the food for lunch to getting under the boiler plate of all contracts; all aspects of production, ALL ASPECTS, from the simplest to the most complicated deserves your full focus, attention and understanding.' The Indie Legal CD simplifies a very complex and very important aspect of our business'' |
