Professional-grade resources and references for executives, talent representatives, producers, and anyone else who wants to deepen their knowledge, sharpen their skills, and take their professional craft to the next level — exclusively for Paid and Premium subscribers.
An updated and expanded version of the Glossary of Industry Terms from the book. New and revised entries are clearly marked and searchable.
My personally designed reference charts for the most-used WGA, DGA, and SAG-AFTRA guild minimums. You may have seen a version of these “cheat sheets” at virtually any company you’ve ever worked at. Mine are better.
The third edition of the book is years away. In the meantime, you can rely on this continually updated archive of updates and corrections to superseded material in the second edition, with a healthy dose of public self-flagellation for embarrassing typos.
Live-streamed trainings with real-time Q&A, produced and distributed in partnership with the Beverly Hills Bar Association (through which viewers can receive participatory MCLE credit for attending).
Coming soon.
If you own a copy of The Business of Television, there’s a decent chance that, at some point, you’ve browsed through its index or table of contents to see if the book might contain the answer to a specific question you had on your mind. What a quaint and cozy way to learn! Today, you can check with TBOT, the only chatbot specifically trained on my book (and all of my other writing about the industry, including this Substack), the full text of all major entertainment-industry collective bargaining agreements and other union/guild materials, and a growing curated selection of trusted (and rights-cleared) third-party sources. You know all those questions about the business that you’d really love an answer to, but kind of don’t want to ask out loud (or don’t have anyone around you who’d be able to answer them anyhow)? You can ask TBOT instead.1
Access to TBOT can take up to 48 hours after your Premium subscription begins. If you’d like it sooner, email me at ken@tbotmax.com.
Access to the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s always-growing online library of entertainment-related training videos (with self-study MCLE credit available).
Coming soon.
Downloadable dealmaking guides, sample contractual language with my annotations, and other personally designed premium resources for working professionals.
Coming soon.
