Hello. I just shot two documentaries and am about to hire an editor and composer. Can I state "work for hire" in their contracts? I want to keep the copyright to the materials, as I am the writer, producer and director. I am not paying much, but if they agree and get credit, I want to have a clear contract before they begin their work....as in how long they can take to finish up....I'd like them to wait 60 days before putting this on their reels, so I have no public competition when pitching for broadcast....etc.
Where can I find contracts online specifically for film/video editor and also for film/video composer? I have been searching all night. Since these are creative positions, it seems hard to find templates for legal contracts. Any ideas? Thanks so much!
