Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California
Breach of Agreement
In December of last year, I loaned a friend 17,000 to produce a fintess video for sale, instead she produced a demo to try and sell a TV show and refuses to provide dcoumentation that this was done, furthermore no discussion regarding the breach of our original agreement . I paid for the production, filming, logo, payroll for staff and a marketing/business plan. I recently discussed this with my friend and received an email stating that she was not obligated to pay me back.
What are my rights?

Re: Breach of Agreement
This sounds like a clear breach of contract action (and possibly fraud). Of course, I can't give you specific advice without knowing all of the details and seeing the contract but if you contracted for one intent and your friend did not fulfill his or her obligation then you should get your money back. $17,000 is a tricky amount to sue for because you could end up spending more money then that on legal fees. It would be important to know if your agreement allows for the reimbursement of legal fees before determining the best way to move forward.
Re: Breach of Agreement
Any answer depends on what the agreement says. Was it verbal or in writing? If in writing, who drafted it? Does it provide for reimbursement of your attorney fees if (as it appears) you have to sue her?
