Actor Release Forms

Before you can use an actor's image or likeness in your film and any related publicity, you should get them to sign an Actor's release form before you start filming. This means that, should you have a falling out, the actor cannot withdraw their permission to use their image. The release form should make mention of payment and other agreements if applicable. In our case, our actors are volunteers, so we've simply amended the simple release form to reflect that. Here's what ours looks like:
