'LEGAL ISSUES IN INDIE FILM PRODUCTION' ON "INSIDE URBAN HOLLYWOOD"
A filmmaker who learns the fine points of the law through trial and error is receiving an expensive education. Entertainment attorney Mychal Wilson of Mindfusion Law will appear on BlogTalkRadio’s show "Inside Urban Hollywood" (http://blogtalkradio.com/insideurbanhollywood) with host Tanya Kersey on Monday, April 28, 2008, at 8pm PST/11pm EST, to discuss the role of the attorney in independent film production. Wilson will talk about the legal pitfalls, from screenplay through distribution, that independent filmmakers often face, and how to avoid them, and how to increase your leverage in deal negotiations.
Coupled with legal experience at the Miramax Film Corp. and the Independent Film & Television Alliance (“IFTA”), Mychal co-founded the full service representation entertainment law firm MindFusion Law Corporation and the entertainment/media company MindFusion Entertainment. The former originated from the belief that with intelligence, vision, and determination, MindFusion Law Corp.’s bold innovative strategies will resolve complex problems and achieve both legal and creative goals in the globalization and digitalization of the entertainment industry.
Prior to co-founding MindFusion Law Corp. and MindFusion Entertainment, Mychal produced and starred in the acclaimed Sundance short film “The Spartans.” Through United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) funding, Mychal then produced and starred in “The Gristle” (which was formerly distributed by HBO, Cinemax, Starz! and is currently available on DVD through Warner Home Video). Subsequently, Mychal assisted the SBA in developing and pioneering the pilot film financing program for independent filmmakers. In 2001, Mychal co-launched Public Eye Entertainment, a private company which shepherded independent film projects through the SBA program (which was cancelled by the Bush administration in 2002).
Mychal grew up on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. where he attended the Georgetown Day School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Lafayette College (Easton, PA). In addition to producing “The Gristle,” Mychal concurrently worked as a Cardiovascular/Diabetes Territory Business Manager for Bristol-Myers Squibb and earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the Southwestern University School of Law. Mychal is a member of the California State Bar.
