Wrong. That tune on the Mozart CD is so old it must be copyright free, right? Wrong. Your volunteer PA staples their finger to a call sheet – they are responsible for medical costs, right? Wrong. For the duration of your shoot (pre to post), the set, office or edit suite becomes a place of work. As with any place of work, you have certain rights and responsibilities to your cast and crew. Imagine your film never seeing the light of day because you didn’t get a signed release form OR your chance to screen at a big festival or TV run is ruined because you don’t have the correct music copyright? This can and has happened! A panel of film industry representatives will discuss and enlighten you to the legal side of filmmaking. From permissions, release forms, contracts, copyright and insurances. If you’re serious about taking filmmaking seriously, then this industry panel is a must. Panellists will represent various areas of this often neglected but essential aspect of the filmmaking process, including; fellow filmmakers sharing their experiences, legal experts, insurance company representatives and music copyright gurus.
