NDA Uses for Film Projects

Individuals and companies working on film projects are often required to sign an NDA before beginning a contract. Implementing NDAs helps protect the production from:

  • Photo and video leaks
  • Casting and script details being revealed prior to the project’s release
  • Competitors stealing concepts
  • Damage to the project’s rollout and marketing
