SCENE 01 / TALENT RELEASES
Talent Releases
Professional performance rights and appearance agreements for productions in Croatia.
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 Croatia, image rights are covered under the Civil Obligations Act and EU GDPR, making well executed Croatian-language releases key to protect shoots from rights disputes and make sure content can be distributed across all platforms.
Here is the short of it. We prepare and manage talent release records compliant with Croatian law and EU GDPR needs, covering your production's distribution and promotional needs. Our team works with Croatian entertainment lawyers to make sure releases address local image rights provisions and are legally valid for both domestic and global distribution.

On Location
We manage talent and personal releases on Croatian shoots, securing the consent and documentation needed under Croatian and EU data-protection law.
Here is how this works in practice. We manage talent and personal releases so a production has the consents it needs to use each performance and look on screen. Our team prepares release forms for principals, day players, background and members of the public, makes sure they are signed and collected correctly, and keeps an ordered record that financiers, distributors and insurers can rely on at delivery. We set up releases across locations, handle multilingual versions for Croatian and global participants, and make sure consents cover the areas and media the project will be distributed in. For crowd and street filming, we put practical signage and consent processes in place so the production's chain of rights is clean and complete.
Here is the short of it. Talent releases in Croatia must respect EU data-protection law. Croatia joined the European Union in 2013 and applies GDPR, run by AZOP, the Agencija za zastitu osobnih podataka, the Croatian data-protection authority. This governs how personal data, including images and recordings of identifiable people, may be collected and used. Release records has to reflect those needs, specific for background performers and members of the public captured during filming. Major shoots including 'Game of Thrones' and 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' have managed large casts and wide crowd work across Croatian locations. We draw on that experience and today's data-protection practice to manage releases that are well logged. GDPR-compliant and robust enough to support the production through distribution.
