Before You Make a Movie Based on Real Life... Try Not to Get Sued.

Lawsuits arising from movies, novels, and plays "based on a true story" seem to be an epidemic. Too often, an educated filmmaker, writer, or content creator could have avoided the legal and practical pitfalls that result from not having a game plan from the beginning. This book is filled with real-world examples, comparisons, and suggestions for the reader before working with an attorney to navigate the "life story rights" landscape.
