Reality television is the growth area of television today. Individuals
around the country want to be involved, whether in front of the camera
or behind, and those who want to produce reality television seek to
attract talent--maybe from the local beauty salon or perhaps the rodeo,
extermination company, or trucking company--to begin taping their own
sizzle reels to pitch to Hollywood production companies. At long last,
here is a book that explains and educates those involved in reality
television (and those who hope to be involved) regarding the terms found
in these agreements and how best to negotiate them. This guide also
includes:
-A brief history of reality television
-A breakdown of how ideas develop and of the players involved
-Reviews of and comments on agreement templates for all parties in the
development and production stages
-Deal point checklists to help stay on track
Directed at attorneys who currently represent clients in the industry or
would like to add reality television to their law practices, at reality
television producers or those looking to break into the scene, and at
all reality television participants, the contracts included in this book
will be an indispensable resource all the way!
