SCENE 01 / TALENT RELEASES
Talent Releases
Professional performance rights and appearance agreements for productions in Morocco.
Here is how this works in practice. Talent releases are legal documents that secure permission to use a performer's image, voice, and likeness in a production and its promotional materials. In Morocco, droit à l'image is covered under the Code Pénal and Law 09-08 on personal data protection, making well executed bilingual (Arabic/French) releases key for the many global shoots filming at Atlas Studios and across the country.
Here is the short of it. We prepare and manage talent release records compliant with Moroccan law, covering your production's distribution and promotional needs. Our team works with Moroccan entertainment lawyers to make sure releases address droit à l'image provisions and data protection needs, are well drafted in Arabic and/or French, and are legally valid for global distribution.

On Location
Talent releases for Morocco shoots secure image and performance rights from cast, extras and members of the public, drafted to satisfy Law 09-08 and the CNDP.
Here is how this works in practice. We prepare and manage talent releases so a production has logged permission to use each performer and identifiable person it films in Morocco. Our team drafts releases for lead cast, day players, the large groups of Berber extras used on period and desert shoots, and members of the public captured in the busy medinas of Fez and Marrakech. Releases are produced in Arabic and French with accurate English working versions so signatories know what they are agreeing to. They specify usage, area and term clearly. We track signed releases against the shooting schedule, set up with the CCM-licensed production-services firm managing the shoot, and keep a complete record so the production's distribution rights are never left exposed.
Here is the breakdown. Talent releases in Morocco must be drafted with the country's data-protection regime in mind. Personal data and images of identifiable people fall under Law 09-08 and the oversight of the CNDP, the Commission Nationale de contrôle de la protection des Données à caractère Staff, so consent must be well informed and logged, specific for crowd and public-filming situations. Morocco's long experience hosting large shoots, from 'Gladiator' and 'Kingdom of Heaven' to HBO's 'Game of Thrones', means the handling of releases for hundreds of extras is well understood by the local industry. We bring that combination of legal precision and practical experience so releases hold up under distribution and TV networks review, protecting the production long after the shoot wraps.
