Faster Payments
Legal delivery is required to close your deal and release payment.
About Us
We make legal delivery simple — so your film gets delivered, paid, and seen.
You’ve poured time, money, and heart into your project (or are about to). The last thing between you and getting paid is legal delivery — the final, confusing hurdle that often derails deals and delays payments. ShowbizWise exists to turn that chaos into a clear, step‑by‑step process you can actually follow.
What We Do
ShowbizWise is a complete system that helps filmmakers and creators handle legal delivery and protect your content with confidence. We give you the checklists, courses, and contract templates you need to deliver professionally — without hiring a lawyer for every step.
Our mantra: “Just tell me what to do and send me the form!” — and then we do exactly that.
