: A director finishes the production of a film and then becomes embroiled in a contract dispute with the executive producer as it goes into post-production. They fail to reach an agreement. Can the director sell and assign his intellectual property rights to other parties who can then finish the film? I can't believe the things I read here. Doesn't anyone get legal advice before they get into trouble? It looks as if, depending on the written agreements, that director owns what has been created. If its not in writing, maybe. M.
