Most actor contracts are between two and three pages long. The typical term for an actor contract is a certain a number of months after the film or play premieres, although some go on indefinitely. Term lengths can vary greatly! The typical term for an agent or manager contract for actors is about 12 to 18 months.
A contract written or reviewed by an attorney will be complete. Having an attorney involved in drafting or reviewing your contract can help you avoid risks and expensive disputes. Lawyers are trained to write contracts that clearly explain what each party will do and to anticipate problems that might arise.
In legal opinions, a person who writes a contract is often called a drafter, or if the person who is bound by a contract writes it him or herself, a party to the contract. Both of those terms refer to a "role" that a person takes in connection with a contract.
The Basic Agreement (BA) covers projects shot on film made under an agreement with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). This contract applies to Directors, Assistant Directors and Unit Production Managers working in film and television.
