The Documentary Feature Editor Agreement is specifically designed for documentary feature or film producers to hire an editor for a documentary project.

This contract is a legal document that details the terms and conditions between a Producer and an Editor.

This Agreement contains all the essential terms and conditions including compensation, term, rights transfers, and more.  Running a documentary is very different from a scripted story and needs specialized contractual terms.

Having the right deal in place is essential to protecting you and your production. Without the right contract in place, you can expose yourself, your company, and your film.  For films, it is essential to document every deal properly to have a clean chain of title for distribution or acquisition. The right contract not only secures rights in the correct way, but it also helps create better relationships with all those on your production. A good contract aligns people so they can know their rights, responsibilities, duties, and obligations from the beginning.
