Testimonials:
"For three years, I had the pleasure of working with Rick Morse as our VP of Business and Legal
Affairs at Radar Pictures. During his tenure, he was responsible for negotiating and drafting
virtually all company agreements for development, finance and production. His legal efforts
pulling together all of the pieces to produce “Winter Dragon” the qualifying pilot for the “Wheel
of Time” series were instrumental in producing and airing that in just a few months, just days
prior to the rights deadline. He crafted all company cast, finance and distribution agreements for
“Beirut” and acted as production counsel on other company films. We were always very satisfied
with the quality of his work and his strong efforts on behalf of the company. "

"I am happy to recommend the legal entertainment services of Rick Morse, an attorney I know
well and have had the pleasure of working closely with for over two decades. After Rick
consistently performed exceptional work for us, we hired him as General Counsel for our film
and television development and finance corporation, Entertainment Business Group. When we
formed OneDoor Studios and since that time Rick has been our go to outside counsel. He
personally provides us with contract deal strategy, negotiates and drafts our story acquisitions,
talent attachments, and other pivotal development agreements, including innovative
development, production and distribution financing documentation. Rick’s exceptional talent
relationships are a natural extension of his legal services. Rick’s transactional work is also
impressive, as is his seasoned counsel. If this were not enough, Rick is one of the most pleasant,
affable and high-integrity professionals with whom I have had the pleasure of working with.
Additionally, he always makes his fees fair and within his quoted ceiling fee and time estimates."

"From Rick we have received top quality, hands-on drafting of numerous production agreements,
for the documentary, “Bau,#699084 A Love Story”, which is the follow-up to our award-winning
feature film, “Bau, Artist at War”, both of which we are producers on. He also drafted the
counterproposal for our directing and writing services for our next documentary, “Oskar” as well
as for the primary cast agreement for our daughter, Tori, for the series, “Elkhorn”. In both
instances, we were incredibly surprised by the additional concessions he was able to derive from
the other side for the final execution drafts, all for very reasonable fees. Rick is always there to
promptly answer a variety of legal questions on a broad range of issues that we deal with as
producers, directors and writers. On top of everything, Rick is truly a wonderful person to work
with - so rare in this end of the business."
Michelle and Marc Griffith, producers, “Bau, Artist at War”
"As a director, producer and writer, currently immersed in documentary filmmaking, my go to guy
for legal services for over a dozen years is Rick Morse. He is a pleasure to work with and his
deliverables are always the best! He recently provided and is providing legal services on two
feature-length documentaries that I am very proud of, “American Badass: A Michael Madsen
Retrospective” and “Chuck Zito: An American Story”. Rick provided a sensational “fair use”,
opinion of counsel letter for the Madsen documentary and is currently working on one for Zito.
Always a great experience!"
