Working with Asa has been an exceptional experience. His responsiveness, creative problem-solving, and deep industry experience helped us navigate complex production legal matters on our recent horror film. He is not only an excellent lawyer, but also a true collaborator, and we look forward to continuing our work together.
Asa has been an incredible partner for our team. He really understands this next generation of filmmakers and thinks beyond what we’re trying to accomplish today to help us build for the long term. His understanding of where the industry is headed has been invaluable in making sure we’re protected while also positioned to take advantage of what’s next.
I've known Asa personally, and one thing that stands out immediately is how genuinely invested he is in the people around him. He's the kind of person who can talk contracts, business strategy, and the entertainment industry without ever making you feel like you're in over your head.
What I appreciate most is that he doesn't approach people as transactions. He approaches them as partners. He's thoughtful, incredibly responsive, and has a rare ability to balance protecting your interests with moving everyone toward a solution. In an industry where that's not always the norm, it's refreshing.
On top of that, he's just someone you want in your corner. He's approachable, honest, and has a great sense of humor, which makes conversations about the less glamorous parts of the business a whole lot easier. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about creatives and wants to see them succeed, Asa is exactly that person.
Financing is the difference between a project that gets made and one that never leaves development. Pitt Entertainment Law represents both producers and financiers in film, television, and digital media transactions, including equity investments, debt financing, tax credit lending, private offerings, and other capital arrangements. Drawing from experience on both sides of the table, we structure transactions that connect capital with content while protecting the economic interests and deal terms that matter long after the financing closes.
