I wrote this contract for Crew members for a feature I'm producing, but I don't have any experience doing this and there's a good chance I did something wrong.
Let me know if I missed/forgot about something obvious, or whatever criticisms come to mind.
CREW CONTRACT
Definitions: the “producers” is NAME. The “show,” is the feature film NAME and its production.
I agree with the following terms and conditions:
I understand I will not be compensated for my involvement in this show, unless the producers offer a deferred payment deal. I understand that deferred payment deals will be made later, and I am in no way guaranteed any compensation at all.
I understand the producers will reimburse some of my expenses, including some gas expenses. This MAY include gas expenses from driving to and from set, or driving between locations, and does not include gas expenses which are unconnected to the show. ALL gas reimbursements will be awarded at the discretion of the producers, and I agree that I am not inherently entitled to gas reimbursements.
Food will be provided on set, and I take responsibility for any liability that comes as a result of consuming it. I agree that the producers are not required to provide food, but do so as a service to the crew.
Petty cash expenses I incur for the show will MAY be reimbursed. All expenses should be cleared beforehand with the producers. The producers will not reimburse parking tickets or parking fines or cellular phone charges.
As a crew member on a low-budget production, I understand that I may offer use of my equipment, vehicle, or other possessions. The producers are not liable for any damage to those possessions.
I waive all liability to the producers for injuries sustained as a result of the show.
I do not own or control any part of the show unless otherwise expressed.
The producers have the customary rights to suspend or terminate this agreement or my services in the event of my default or incapacity, or an act of god. I or the producers can terminate this contract at any time. At the end of the show’s production, this contract will be terminated.
