Hi.
I'm thinking about creating a documentary for a fictitious person.
What I want to do is interview people and have them tell stories from there own lives and have them attribute them to this fictitious character.
After recording enough stories, I'd like to edit them into a cohesive narrative, possibly having individuals re-tell there stories as different characters, from different points of view, possibly having them re-tell other people's stories.
I'm basically asking people for there stories - and then lying about them. Which I don't mind being up front about.. it's just that to put that into legal terms.. would it be as simple as adding a clause to a standard release form that says "I'm going to twist and manipulate and lie about your stories, and that's okay with you."?
and "you will be given writing and acting credit's, but no financial return."?
It seems like that would be enough.. but..
Am I asking for trouble?
Any input would be great.
