Licensing & Rights Management

Here is how this works in practice. We set up licensing and rights clearance so a production's footage can be distributed without legal exposure. Our team works with Thai rights holders, collecting societies and legal advisors to research, negotiate and document the permissions a production needs: synchronisation and master rights for music, stock and archive footage licences, trademark and brand clearances for items visible on screen, and the rights tied to any location with its own usage conditions.

Here is the short of it. We track each clearance against the production's intended distribution — theatrical, broadcast, streaming, regional or worldwide — so nothing surfaces later as an unlicensed element. We set up this work alongside contract running and the Thailand Film Office permit process. We keep a clear chain of records that distributors, TV networks and errors-and-omissions insurers will need. The result is a delivery package where each piece of third-party material is well signed off.

Here is the breakdown. Thailand has its own intellectual-property framework and collecting societies. The country's decades of experience servicing global features, commercials and streaming series mean rights clearance follows recognisable pro standards. The local film industry is big — from Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Palme d'Or-winning work to the GDH studio and a vast commercial-production sector — which gives a real depth of Thai music, talent and material a production might want to license, alongside imported content.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Thailand was never colonised and its legal system is distinctly its own, so clearances involving Thai rights holders are best handled with local advisors who know that landscape. Specific care applies to anything touching religious visuals or the monarchy, both covered with great cultural and legal sensitivity. Sound rights running makes sure a production can show Thailand's richness on screen and still distribute the finished film freely.
