Artistic Production Agreement

An artistic production agreement is a specific type of service agreement in which one entity, the production service provider (or producer), undertakes to produce an artistic or media project for the client. Production agreements can be between large entities, such as two large companies, or between individuals (in other words, a small client hiring a small producer).

Production agreements tend to include provisions that develop the specificity of the relationship. For example, the project that both parties will be working on is described, but so are any required specifications (e.g., for films, the type of film on which it is to be shot, or specific sound software on which the music is to be mixed). The production agreement also contains the provisions more commercial required, such as the payment structure.

How to use this document?

This document should be used when two parties are seeking to enter into a production agreement, regardless of the purpose of the production in question. This agreement can be used for any type of art or media project and outlines the details of the relationship and agreement between the parties.

In this document, basic information is listed, such as the names and identifying details of the parties. From there, however, the agreement becomes more robust and all relevant contract details are listed, such as project details, fee structure, project specifications (if applicable), specific clauses regarding marketing and royalties, and termination information.

Once completed, the contract should be printed and signed by both parties. It is a good idea for each party to keep a copy.
