Legal Question in Entertainment Law in California

Re: Filming Sex on Private Property

Welcome to California, the land of consenting adults. To film sex on private property in California, you need: 1) Willing, unpaid participants; 2) Permission of the property owner; 3) Curtains that close; and 4) Enough film.

Also, this being California, don't be surprised when one of your actors catches a STD, claims they were your employee, and files for workers' compensation.

Re: Filming Sex on Private Property

No real reason why you wouldn't be able to, BUT with the following caveats:

All acts must be consensual, a person's consent to one sex act, (and to being filmed doing it) doesn't necessarily amount to consent to any other act, etc. Once the word "No" is uttered, you'll need NEW consents, etc.

If you're not paying the "performers", you shouldn't have any problems. If you ARE, there may be allegations of prostitution, pandering, etc.

Also, what Mr. Stone said about workers' comp and other liability claims is worth considering...

This is a high-risk venture.

That said, I can't wait to see your work ;-)
