Location: Zoom Webinar
Documentary filmmakers often create films with the goal of revealing the truth about a specific subject matter—from the life of a celebrity to an unsolved local mystery. This process, however, often toes the line of legal issues concerning ownership, privacy, consent, and defamation. This class will discuss an overview of copyright, life rights, right of publicity, and defamation.
Instructors: VLA Legal Externs
