The document discusses various legal issues that may arise from creating a film and how to address them. It notes that filming actors requires signed permission forms. Any additional footage or media used needs permission from the copyright owners to avoid legal action. The creator owns intellectual property rights over the original film but must be careful not to infringe on others' copyrights. The film should serve the public interest by getting feedback to ensure it meets audience needs. Performance rights determine how and where the film can be publicly shown.
