I just posted an open casting call on our web site (http://www.OffStageFilms.com) and I am about to begin advertining the audition information on the web.

I realized, with the auditions looming, I need to get some simple release forms for the actors.

Does anyone know where I can find these online or is there a book I should get?

Thanks,

Re: Auditions and Release Forms

The store Markertek (www.markertek.com) has something called Pro Studio Production Forms they are selling for $54.99. You get about 60 different forms on a CD-ROM that you can print up covering a variety of things having to do with your production and not just release forms.
