If your project is accepted as an AFP: Studio, you acknowledge the following:

The purpose of a Media Arts Advanced Film Production (AFP) is to educate students in the creation of a motion picture through a hands-on lab experience. The two primary methods for providing this education are: 1) faculty and professional mentorship, and 2) peer mentorship.

Final cut of the AFP is retained by TMA, not by any student, including but not limited to the producer, director and/or writer(s).

All students involved in the creation of an AFP agree to behave with the utmost professionalism and follow all policies and procedures found in TMA written materials and/or the student handbook and/or presented in classes and/or production meetings pertaining to AFP film. In the event that a crew member is dismissed from the film, TMA may, at its sole discretion, appoint another student or group of students, to oversee completion of the film.

TMA may cancel the development, production, and/or postproduction of the film due to unprofessional behavior, logistical issues, acts of god and/or violation of university or departmental policies.

Because the University has funded and supported the AFP, the film is the sole property of the University; therefore, the University may handle the film in the manner it feels is most in support of its educational and spiritual mission. The University owns the rights to exhibit and distribute, or not to exhibit nor distribute, the AFP as it sees fit, without compensation to students or other participants, in perpetuity. Unless otherwise prohibited by the University, the student filmmakers may also exhibit the University-approved version of the finished film after the AFP has finished its “festival run”.

The University controls all material assets of the film purchased with University funds, including but not limited to, props, wardrobe, hard drives, equipment, etc.., as well as all digital assets, including but not limited to exported versions of the film, production footage, behind the scenes footage and photographs, sound recordings, music, etc.. These assets may not be used in any other capacity than in association with the finished film, unless written consent is granted by the University. All assets must be returned to the TMA department once the film has been completed.

Because the film is the property of the University, students may not create their own version of the film, such as a “director’s cut”, without express permission from the University.

Once accepted for AFP production, the script is owned by the University and therefore the University owns the rights to develop, shape, alter, etc., the work as is required for its educational purposes. Notwithstanding, while the University owns the script used for production of the AFP, the student writer(s) (not the producer and/or director—unless one or both are also the writer(s)) owns and may develop the story material beyond the AFP.
