I want to see what the experts say, bump

Im not a lawyer so i cant comment whether it's good or not but if it helps mine is 5 pages long.

If you want a model release, please check out the free speech coalilition website and see what they have.

Is that all you plan on having them sign? If so, then no, it's not a good model release. It isn't 2257 compliant.

The only acceptable answer to this thread is "ask your lawyer".

That is good advice. More good advice would be have an attorney who knows what they're doing draft one for you. :2 cents:
