SCENE 01 / TALENT RELEASES
Talent Releases
Professional performance rights and appearance agreements for productions in Poland.
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 Poland, image rights (prawo do wizerunku) are covered under the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Act and EU GDPR, making well executed Polish-language releases key, specific for the growing number of global shoots attracted by Poland's 30% cash rebates incentive.
Here is the short of it. We prepare and manage talent release records compliant with Polish law and EU GDPR needs, covering your production's distribution and promotional needs. Our team works with Polish entertainment lawyers to make sure releases address prawo do wizerunku provisions and are legally valid across Poland, the EU, and global areas.

On Location
We manage talent releases for productions in Poland, securing the consents and rights paperwork that underpin a clean chain of title under GDPR and Polish law.
Here is how this works in practice. We handle talent releases for shoots filming in Poland, securing the signed consents that allow a production to use a performer's image, voice and input. Our team prepares releases for principal cast, supporting artists, extras and members of the public who appear on camera, and makes sure each one covers the area, term and media the project needs. We manage releases for minors through guardian consent. We keep an ordered record of each signed document for delivery and chain-of-title. For documentary and factual shoots, where contributors are filmed in real settings, we make sure consent is well obtained and recorded. Clean release forms protects a production at delivery and against any later dispute.
Here is the short of it. Talent releases in Poland operate within the EU data-protection framework. The General Data Protection Rules applies, enforced in Poland by the data-protection authority UODO (Urząd Ochrony Danych Osobowych), and a person's image is treated as personal data — so releases must be drafted to satisfy both image-rights and data-protection needs. This matters specific for documentary work and for crowd scenes in public places. Releases also connect to the wider rights picture, including music and authors' rights administered through ZAiKS. We draft and manage releases so a production's consents are valid under Polish and EU law, well logged for TV networks and distributors, and robust enough to support a clean chain of title.
