Klinedinst Shareholder Hartford O. Brown Succesfully Negotiates North American Distribution Deal for Client

LOS ANGELES - Klinedinst is pleased to announce that Hartford O. Brown and Solar Filmworks, LLC have secured a North American distribution deal with THINKFilm LLC for its feature film The Last Confederate: The Story of Robert Adams. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Based on a true story, The Last Confederate is a full-length motion picture that chronicles the struggle of Robert Adams, a southern Captain drawn into the Civil War. The winner of 11 awards at film festivals in the U.S. and abroad, the The Last Confederate™ follows Capt. Adams, his sacrifices for his country, and his love for a girl from the North. Independently financed and produced, The Last Confederate™ was filmed on location where many of the actual events took place.

When it came time to seek a distributor for the motion picture, Solar Filmworks and Director/Producer Julian Adams turned to Hartford O. Brown. Mr. Brown served as legal counsel for the company, reviewing and negotiating various contracts, negotiating with distribution companies, and ensuring Solar Filmwork’s legal rights were preserved.

“Solar Filmworks has an incredible historical feature inThe Last Confederate,” noted Mr. Brown, who is the managing shareholder in the firm’s Los Angeles office and chair of Klinedinst’s Entertainment Law Practice Group. “The filmmakers realized that they needed an attorney who would represent their interests and walk them through the complicated distribution deals presented. We were able to secure a distribution deal with one of the most respected distributors in North America, ensuring that The Last Confederate received the exposure it deserves.”

As part of the agreement, Toronto-based THINKFilm LLC will have the exclusive North American distribution rights toThe Last Confederate. THINKFilm is known for its fare of independent movies, having distributed such major motion pictures as Born Into Brothels,™ winner of the Academy Award™ for Best Documentary Feature (2005), Murderball™, and Half Nelson.™
