PPM Legal Review (Advanced)

Book now and secure the legal and business guidance you need to make your film a reality! 

A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) is a complex document that will be provided to investors and is subject to SEC regulations. PPMs are very pricey to have prepared by an attorney, but the Film Proposals PPM template helps you to customize your own PPM for your particular project. Given the legal complexity of the document and SEC regulations, it is best to have a lawyer's input on customizing it for your project. 

Get legal advice and guidance on your project for a fraction of the price of hiring a lawyer on retainer. With this package, entertainment attorney Dori Zavala will review your project pitch deck and/or business plan with a view towards seeking financing and investors for your film. You will also receive 2 45-minute zoom sessions. During the zoom sessions you can ask any questions you have relating to your Film Proposals PPM templates and contracts or your project. Finally, Dori will provide a redlined document review of your revised PPM template. Get answers, direction and tools you need to move forward more quickly with your film financing endeavors. 

What you'll get:

  • Pitch Deck and/or Business Plan Attorney Review with a view towards seeking financing and investors for your film.
  • Two 45-minute Zoom calls with entertainment attorney Dori Zavala to ask any questions relating to your film project, PPM and investors.   
  • Redlined PPM Document provided after the first zoom call and after you've made changes to your template, to recommend additional edits based on your unique project pitch deck and business plan. 
  • Tailored Legal Insights: Receive personalized legal insights and strategic advice tailored to your unique needs as an indie filmmaker. Gain clarity on complex legal issues and position your projects for success in the dynamic entertainment industry. 
  • Industry-Backed Expertise: Benefit from my 20+ years of experience as an attorney, and my unique knowledge as a producer and screenwriter, gaining access to insider knowledge and industry-backed strategies that can help you navigate the intricacies of film production, distribution, and legal compliance. 
  • Holistic Business Perspective: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the business aspects of filmmaking, including financing, distribution, rights management, and more. Get guidance on how to leverage legal strategies to protect your creative work and maximize your film's potential for commercial success.
