FILM & TV VERTICAL

Film and TV production is structurally distinct in three ways: (i) multi-component by default — master/copyright in the audiovisual work, composition rights, sync licences, performances, screenplay, life-rights, archival clearances, performer NILP, director’s moral rights, VFX/AI vendor contributions; (ii) collective bargaining frameworks — SAG-AFTRA, WGA, DGA, IATSE (US), BECTU, Equity, WGGB (UK) whose AI provisions flow through to per-production rights determinations; (iii) complex production hierarchies — studio, production company, individual producers, distribution partners, platform operators — where rights flow through multiple operator levels.

Workstream 1 — Guild and union obligations (SHIPPED v3.32): CIP-Guild-Agreement field with format {guild-id}:{agreement-version}:{territory}:{ai-provisions-status}. Workstream 2 — Production hierarchy declarations (QUEUED). Workstream 3 — Synchronisation rights (QUEUED). Workstream 4 — Talent agreement integration (QUEUED). Workstream 5 — Distribution platform / windowing declarations (QUEUED). Workstream 6 — Production stage declarations (QUEUED). Workstream 7 — Residual and royalty trigger declarations (QUEUED).

Workstream 1 ships at v3.32 as the starter increment. Workstreams 2–7 are queued for subsequent releases. Each warrants its own design-decision turn. The framework anticipates a subsequent release cadence completing the vertical at properly-scoped depth.

Mixed-Rights Architecture (v3.4) covers multi-component rights structure. cip.md Specification documents the CIP-Guild-Agreement field. Safeguarding Overlay Architecture (v3.19) applies to under-18 performers. CR-AII Architecture (v3.20) includes film & TV production AI calibration profile.
