Creating The Music Doc: Rights, Clearances & Creativity
Sponsored by Edwards Creative Law, this panel explores critical factors such as music rights, sync licensing, and securing artist permissions when creating a music documentary. We’ll dive into obtaining archival footage, understanding fair use, and managing venue clearances for performances. Filmmakers must also balance factual storytelling with creative freedom while considering royalties and revenue sharing. On December 7 | 10:00 AM PT at Garibaldi Room – Whistler Conference Centre, join us to discuss the multifaceted decisions that shape compelling and legally sound music documentaries. Edwards Creative Law’s partner and entertainment lawyer Byron Pascoe will be on the panel.
