It's copyright infringement if you don't sell the work. Just because you're not profiting does not mean it's not infringement. If I make Mickey Mouse shirts and give them away that is still copyright infringement. They own the rights and can use them any way they want. You do not have the...

sorry - very newbie here - what exactly is a fanfilm and what are the legal implications of it?
