What is the name of your state? California.
I am a film student at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles.
I am currently working on my thesis film.
The protagonist of the story is a documentarian who puts an ad on the internet: "Documentarian looking for suicidal individual to follow from first preperations to final act.". Because people in L.A. are crazy, suicidal and eager to be on camera he gets a number of responses.
Because he is concerned about legal consequences he goes to see a lawyer to find out if it is a crime to film someone planning and committing suicide.
Now I am researching the legal situation. Does anybody know what the law in California says about filming someone's suicide?
Again: I am working on a FICTICIOUS film with ACTORS.
I'd be happy to mention whoever can give me advice as "Legal Consultant" in the film's credits.
