"We (Sierra Club) now own three sets of The Essential Guide to Entertainment Law. We knew we could gain valuable insights into the subject matter from anything Jay Shanker and his colleagues would offer."

Louis Barnes
Chief Financial Executive, Sierra Club

"As the managing partner at Singer Burke Zimmer, LLP, I am eager to have a concise resource available that covers the complex legal and taxation environment as it relates to the Entertainment Industry, especially with the level of detail and transparency that Shane and Brad have brought to this subject matter.  I highly recommend this book to the tax practitioner, as well as the non-tax practitioner, for an in-depth look at the intricacies and opportunities of today’s changing laws, including the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  Congratulations on a book that is bound to help many entrepreneurs, as well as established business owners, as they start/continue their journey.  Job Well Done!"

Matthew A. Burke (SPA, CFP)
Managing Partner, Singer Burke Zimmer, LLP

“I can’t imagine a better gateway to understanding the ins and outs of providing (and benefitting from) competent legal representation in the entertainment industries.”

John Huncke

"I have worked with Steve Monas multiple times during his career in the film business.  His knowledge of motion picture distribution is second to none.  I strongly suggest that anyone looking to break into this area of our business should read Steve’s chapter on Motion Picture Distribution.  It is both concise and complete.  A must read."

Mark Damon
CEO Foresight Unlimited; Producer: Monster, Lone Survivor, Das Boot

“I love this set of books! I recommend it to students and colleagues all the time. Each chapter is like having a personal mentor who is an expert in the field at your fingertips.”
