Event Review: Create Denver Expo

The 4th annual Create Denver Expo was a day-long event providing creative individuals and businesses an opportunity to learn and gain awareness of the various services and programs available in the Denver area. There were 37 workshops on various topics led by experts in the fields of marketing, personal and business finance, media relations, music and film production, and public art.

The Anatomy of a Major Studio Film Deal (Replin & Rhoades, LLC) was my favorite workshop. Steve Replin and Laurie Rhoades are both attorneys that specialize in entertainment law. Their practice includes the representation of film makers, writers, musicians, studios, museums, those in the fashion industry, and all others in the creative arts. During the workshop they basically broke down a typical film production contract, pointing out the areas one should be concerned with and the mistakes people have made.
