When you’re hiring actors for your indie, student, or festival-bound film — and need a professional, legally sound contract.
This is the go-to performer agreement for non-union productions.
It’s simple enough for ultra-low-budget projects, yet strong enough to satisfy distribution, insurance, and festival requirements.
It covers the essentials that protect both sides — services, compensation, credit, publicity rights, and ownership — without the unnecessary union language or studio-level complexity.
