Best Answer

Since there is so much money to be made and lost in the film industry, and since there are laws designed to protect 'art', the primary legal issues involved in filmmaking are copyrights.

Union workers are also a large legal component in filmmaking. As well, rights to use music and other copyright material is key.

Contracts among the project workers are also critical.

Depending on where you are in the filmmaking process, best practices dictate that you engage an entertainment-savvy attorney to help you understand the legal issues that you face.

As a filmmaker, your source material must be 'clean'. If you go through the machinations of making a film -- the story for which you have no legal right to use -- and discover after the fact that you cannot legally release the film, all your efforts are lost. Your reputation may be permanently smeared.
