What is the name of your state? New York
I starred in a person's student film that he was doing for one of his class projects. He said it was for his class, at least. He has since posted this film on his website for free download, and now I have learned that he has been exhibiting it in public (though not for profit). I never signed any sort of model release or acting release, never signed any sort of waiver. There is not and has never been any sort of written agreement. Is this filmmaker within his rights?
