Overview
The Depiction Release is used for documentary projects when an interviewee gives the production permission to record their voice and likeness and use that material in the film.
This agreement is important because documentary subjects must clearly understand and authorize how their recorded participation may be used. Proper releases protect both the production and the interviewee while supporting ethical, professional, and legally sound documentary practice.
