In this eye-opening episode, legal expert Ishaan Michael breaks down the most critical legal and ethical questions facing filmmakers, actors, and creators today.
From AI-generated doubles and using an actor’s image posthumously (as in Paul Walker’s case), to the limits of NDAs and copyright complications in storytelling — Ishaan reveals what artists often ignore when signing contracts and distributing their work.
We also discuss landmark cases like RG Anand vs Deluxe Films, explore the legal future of AI characters, and look ahead to what filmmaking might look like in 2030 and 2035.
Whether you're an actor, filmmaker, or creative entrepreneur, this is an essential guide to understanding your rights and preparing for a rapidly changing industry.
