"Negotiating the Actor Agreement!" Sign up today for May 26th Workshop!!!

California Lawyers for the Arts is pleased to present...

NEGOTIATING THE ACTOR AGREEMENT

May 26, 2010

DESCRIPTION: The actor is a key creative component and selling point in
getting a feature film made. Today's market is largely
"name" driven. Making a deal with a recognizable actor is a
critical factor for attaining financing and eventually producing a film.
Additionally, because the actor is the only creative element that
appears on the screen, as well as in the advertising and promotion, the
actor can be very demanding during negotiations. Therefore, the actor
agreement is often the most challenging deal to negotiate. Understanding
how to navigate the negotiation process and nuances of the actor
agreement is essential for producers, directors, writers, actors and
anyone interested in the film business. The workshop will outline and
discuss the basic terms of the actor agreement along with the important
issues to consider when negotiating the deal.

Tufts University and extensive programs at UCLA Entertainment Law
Studies. She is admitted to practice in California, New York and New
Jersey, is a member of the American Bar Association (Entertainment Law

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them
yourself. (Andy Warhol)

Time Management for Artists is designed to help you recognize and perhaps
reconsider your personal concept of time. During this workshop you will gain
a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best
determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any
given day. You will receive practical management methods, skills and
techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing
frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your
artwork. Goal setting and action planning are key to time management
success. In-class activities will highlight how to budget your time wisely
and most effectively for you. More effective planning will enable you to
spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your
personal and professional goals and objectives.

Judith Teitelman brings 25 years of experience in helping grassroots and
mid-sized organizations and large institutions strengthen their management
and fundraising capacities and plan for a sustainable future. She is a

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them
yourself. (Andy Warhol)

Time Management for Artists is designed to help you recognize and perhaps
reconsider your personal concept of time. During this workshop you will gain
a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best
determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any
given day. You will receive practical management methods, skills and
techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing
frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your
artwork. Goal setting and action planning are key to time management
success. In-class activities will highlight how to budget your time wisely
and most effectively for you. More effective planning will enable you to
spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your
personal and professional goals and objectives.

Judith Teitelman brings 25 years of experience in helping grassroots and
mid-sized organizations and large institutions strengthen their management
and fundraising capacities and plan for a sustainable future. She is a
strong proponent of management initiatives designed to examine and challenge
long-standing assumptions about arts administration, and is committed to
helping organizations rethink “business as usual.” Her national consulting
practice, established in 1990, provides a full range of services, tailored

Teitelman has served as a Planning Consultant to the National Endowment for
