LEGALITY:

Thankfully, as higher quality fan films begin to rise, more and more studios are seeing the value in them; free marketing for their most beloved properties. As long as a fan film stays within a reasonable length and budget (as not to confuse audiences into thinking it's the real thing) and avoids commercial ventures, fan films can be a valuable tool to help keep beloved properties relevant and in the pop culture consciousness. They are also great portfolio pieces for actors and filmmakers to showcase.

"Are fan films legal?" is a common question we get. The short answer is yes, fan films are legal and fall within the FAIR USE DOCTRINE of 1976. Since the rise of fan films, several written and unwritten rules have been created:

TOP 5 FAN FILM RULES:

1. A fan film may not deceive consumers by misrepresenting themselves as an official production of the property the film is portraying.

2. A fan film may not be exclusive to watch, but rather made available to view for free by whatever means necessary. Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook or other free streaming platforms can be used.

3. A fan film cannot profit in any way from its viewership, charge for public screening, or be sold for distribution for any kind.

4. All funding raised by a fan film in crowdfunding must go into the production with filmmakers taking no payment for their services.

5. Some fan film properties require additional rules such as budget caps, run time, and the participation of franchise alumni.

Ultimately, it is up to the franchise rights holders to determine what rules they want to enforce or if they want to allow fan fiction of their properties to exist at all.

On the subject of the rights to Halloween, we would again like to formally acknowledge that BAT Productions is in no way affiliated with Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions, Trancas International Pictures or anyone one else associated with the Halloween Franchise. If anyone from those entities takes issue with what we are trying to accomplish, we will happily comply with whatever is asked of us by those parties.

We also know that many popular franchise rights holders have no issue with fan films and most often support them. That is why there are so many Friday the 13th, Star Wars, Halloween, Star Trek, Nightmare on Elm Street, Batman, and countless other property fan films currently floating around the web. As long as one does not try to profit or compete, studios usually see them as a free marketing tool.

Thank you to everyone who will be assisting in bringing this project to life. BAT Productions and company are forever grateful for your time and dedication to the project. Thank you all for checking out our campaign and Happy Halloween!
