Learn from an entertainment attorney negotiating groundbreaking genAI deals with studios, networks, and foundational model providers like Google and Adobe, while guiding clients like Boardwalk Pictures and Image Nation through delivery and distribution!

Get a practical breakdown of the exact AI disclosures, chain of title documents, and E&O insurance requirements distributors are asking for right now!

Finishing your film is only half the battle — getting it distributed is where many AI-related issues can unexpectedly derail a project. As artificial intelligence becomes more common in filmmaking, distributors, sales agents, insurers, and streamers are asking new questions about how AI was used, who owns the underlying rights, whether the film can be insured, and whether it can legally be delivered. Understanding these requirements before you reach the finish line can mean the difference between closing a deal quickly and watching it fall apart during due diligence.

The challenge is that most filmmakers don't discover delivery problems until a distributor's lawyer uncovers them. Missing documentation, unclear chain of title, incomplete AI disclosures, or overly broad distribution agreements can delay — or even kill — a sale. You may already be wrestling with questions like: What actually counts as AI disclosure? How does AI-generated material affect your copyright registration? What happens when an insurer starts asking about your genAI workflow? These aren't hypothetical concerns anymore — they're showing up in real deals, right now, and if you're not prepared for them, they can catch you off guard at the worst possible moment.

You'll be learning from Anthony Glukhov, a business and legal affairs expert whose client roster includes Boardwalk Pictures, Image Nation, Imagine Documentaries, and Park Pictures — production companies behind projects like Chef's Table, Welcome to Wrexham, and the Sundance 2026 US Documentary Directing Award winner Soul Patrol. Beyond guiding clients through every stage of a project, from development to delivery, Glukhov advises genAI-native companies like Promise Studios and negotiates groundbreaking deals with foundational model providers like Google and Adobe. Because he understands the technology itself — not just the law around it — he can speak to the intellectual property, data protection, and security questions alongside the practical realities of production. His perspective isn't theoretical — he's been quoted in the LA Times on the Hollywood/genAI divide, teaches genAI's copyright implications as an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, and regularly advises industry guilds on the exact challenges you're facing. Few people are as immersed in where AI law and production reality actually meet.

In this webinar, you'll get a full picture of how AI is reshaping distribution — from chain of title fundamentals and the human authorship requirement, to the new disclosure obligations under laws like the California AI Transparency Act and EU AI Act, to what your E&O insurer will actually ask you. You'll learn how to clear AI-generated music, voices, and footage, how to negotiate AI rights and reserved approvals in your distribution agreements, and how to spot red flags before a distributor's lawyer does. Walk away knowing exactly how to protect your film — and your rights — from day one through final delivery.
