Can I use that photo in my documentary? What about this audio clip? Or this ancient painting?
Join us for a virtual workshop with entertainment attorney Fernando Ramirez, Esq. to review such questions and much more. This workshop will introduce the concepts of fair use, copyright, right of publicity, and works in the public domain and their implications for documentary filmmaking in the United States. It will equip documentary filmmakers with the foundational knowledge they need about these topics before consulting with an attorney.
