I was asked by a director to use footage of me, he sent me a release form but there was nothing about credit in the form. In the email, he says he would give me credit.

I’ve never signed anything, can I trust he will give me credit? Would you? The footage doesn’t mean much to me. I just want credit. P.s im not an actor so all of this is new to me
