What use is authorized?
Identify permission for the script, performance, name, image, likeness, voice, music, and other materials. Treat reference, generation, training, private presentation, and publication as distinct uses.
CINEPASS / CREATOR-RIGHTS APPROACH
Your work.
Your permission.
Your creative control.
A connected production workflow starts with authorized material, clear participation, and the right people making the decisions.
FOUR QUESTIONS AT THE START OF A PROJECT
Know what is agreed.
Before the work moves forward.
These principles guide how we scope each project.
Who can approve each step?
Separate creative choices from authorization to use a person’s performance or to publish material. Identify the appropriate approvers for each version and purpose.
Which terms govern the use?
Document participation and agreed commercial terms. Keep representation, payment, residuals, and other contractual decisions with the responsible business and legal teams.
How is participation described?
Record the source, confirmed participation and agreed credits.
THE INTENDED USE MATTERS
Approval has a scope.
So should the workflow.
Develop
Agree source material, references, provider handling, and the purpose of development.
Present
Confirm the version, audience, sharing limits, and how talent participation is described.
Produce & release
Review the relevant production and commercial-use permissions before moving beyond the presentation.
Private pitch and public promotion are separate permissions.
EXISTING RIGHTS. EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS.
Build around the people
responsible for the work.
CinePass works alongside your representation, legal and payroll teams. Scope the workflow around those responsibilities.
Preserve the source
Keep the original script and references distinct from proposed changes and generated candidates.
Identify the providers
Discuss which services receive material and review the relevant commercial-use, training, retention, and deletion terms.
Match approvals to roles
Agree who can authorize each intended use. Match each intended use to the appropriate permission.
Specific controls and terms are confirmed for each engagement.
FROM A STRONG IDEA TO A CLEAR NEXT STEP.
Bring the story.
Let’s develop the project.
Start with a short description of the project, the materials you have, and the next conversation you want to be ready for.
No confidential script or talent-asset upload is required for an inquiry.
