Last Call for Section 181: A Virtual Seminar with Entertainment Attorney Corky Kessler

Section 181, the 'runaway production' incentive, is due to sunset at the end of 2011. And the word is...it's not getting renewed. So for now it looks like 2011 is the last chance to take advantage of Section 181. If you've been waiting to move on this incentive, you cannot afford to wait any longer.

Entertainment Attorney Corky Kessler joins us for this virtual seminar to let filmmakers know how to take advantage before it sunsets. Corky is an expert in Section 181...in fact, he helped write the legislation so if you have questions, this is your man.
