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.

Testimonials From Our Clients

Will definitely reach out again.

Michael Duboff was thorough and patient explaining a rather problematic publishing contract that I needed a review for, and his expertise and experience in the legal realm of publishing provided a lot of insight I couldn’t have gotten otherwise. His advice was much needed, and I also greatly appreciated the encouragement he gave me to negotiate for a set of terms I was comfortable with. I will definitely reach out to him should I find myself in such a situation again.
