Wow, very interesting.

Question - How can a studio not release a video due to bad record keeping? This sounds stupid! Why spend all of the time producing something when then you cannot release it!

All of our shoots are weekend shoots, sometimes they can take as long as a week, once we had a shoot take up to 2 weeks. The VERY FIRST thing we do is have the models sign the agreements and copy their ID's. Once those are signed, we sign off on them. Then they are taken to the office and filed. Then we start filming. The contracts are 18 pages in length. And every day thereafter we film a model, all models sign a basic 2257 Record Keeping form.

It just beats me how studios are not compliant on a film.
