TY - GEN T1 - Smooth negotiating :making the director deal - analysis and commentary on the key clauses of a motion picture director contract / AU - Tulchin, Harris E., VL - 1999 Vol 10 No 7 pages 206-216 N1 - "Since the director is often one of the first persons engaged on a motion picture (after the writer), and generally is the last person to complete his services on a motion picture (other than the producer) the negotiation of the director's deal involves a broad range of issues that are in certain cases unique to directors' deals. Depending on the personality and status of the director in the entertainment industry, his experience, the budget and nature of the production, the resolution of who ultimately is in control of the production, who controls the creative issues, who has the final cut, who has the business and financial controls will ultimately set the tone for the negotiation of other terms and conditions in the director's agreement".
