Legal Question in Entertainment Law in South Carolina
Type of release needed?
I'm going to film a video about a strip club. I want to make it clear that I will own all the footage I shoot and not the club owner. Is a simple location agreement stating that I would own the rights to the footage enough to ensure this, or do I need to draft a detailed release for the club to sign as it's own person/entity like I have my models sign? I ask because I wont just be filming an empty location since strippers will be present. I will have all the strippers sign the detailed release.

Re: Type of release needed?
You would likely need some pretty specific language and release forms from the dancers. You may even have to comply with 2257 requirements. I would be happy to speak with you about this.
