Speaking Engagement
Own It & Fund It: Protecting and Financing Your Creative Work | Women In Media Reel/Forward Production Conference 2026
Greenberg Glusker Corporate attorney Nicole Levi will moderate the panel "Own It & Fund It: Protecting and Financing Your Creative Work," featuring Entertainment Partner Ryan Webb and Entertainment Counsel Brandon Milostan, at the Reel/Forward Production Conference, hosted by Women In Media, on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at California State University, Los Angeles.
Session Details:
Getting an independent project made comes down to two things: protecting what you've created, and figuring out how it gets paid for. Nicole, Ryan, and Brandon will break down both sides — the legal groundwork that protects your rights and IP, and how the financing actually comes together and pays out.
The panel will cover how entertainment contracts work in practice, including options, shopping agreements, and the deal points that matter most to creators, along with how independent films get financed and how investors recoup and see a return. The session will close with practical steps creators and companies can take right now to protect themselves around AI.
