Entertainment Lawyers

  This week we’ve seen an intriguing report from the Center for the Study of Women in TV and Film, giving deeper insight into how Hollywood is representing women in film. Stats aside, an interesting fact emerges- it appears to be filmed with at least one female director, writer, or another significant influencer role, which employ and represent women. BLAKE & WANG P.A Entertainment Lawyer Los Angeles takes a deeper look.                                     Brandon Blake - Managing Partner at Entertainment Attorney How big is the discrepancy we’re talking about?

BLAKE & WANG P.A. entertainment lawyer Los Angeles investigate further.                                             Brandon Blake - Entertainment Lawyer This year, we see several circumstances we’ve never seen before. Of course, the global health crisis continues to have people worried, especially with possible ‘fourth wave’ outbreaks rearing their heads. While the original decision to postpone the ceremony was doubtless hoping for calmer waters, it seems this may backfire in the end. We also see considerably more attendees outside the U.S, many of who are being confused by a lack of clear direction on ceremony matters and need to u...
