Meet me at Nashville Film Festival

One of my current projects is outreach to filmmakers on the Documentary Filmmakers’ Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use. In that role, I will be appearing on a panel discussion on April 25 at the Nashville Film Festival with the fantastic Byron Hurt (Beyond Beats and Rhymes, pictured right) and attorney F. Casey Del Casino (author of The Potential Harm of Musical Parody: Toward an Enlightened Fair Use Calculus) to discuss fair use, the evolution of this particular tool, and how makers can start utilizing this right.

More details are at the Nashville Film Festival website. If you or someone you know is headed toward or in the Nashville area, please pass on this news. I’ve had some great events over the past few months and am excited for another!
