This Documentary Agreement is a core agreement that can be used by the main Narrator or other narrators for the documentary. It is an essential contract when hiring a narrator for your project.

This core documentary contract is available as a single-use contract, as part of the Documentary Feature Package, or through the Creators’ Legal subscription. It contains all essential terms and conditions such as compensation, term, the time required, shoot schedule, work-for-hire language, and more.

Using contracts in your production is an important step to make sure you have all of the rights needed for the project to be able to distribute or sell your project.  A distributor will not pick up your project without contracts in place.  If you want to protect yourself and your project you need to have the right contracts.
