The IDA is happy to welcome IDA Board Vice President Adam Chapnick as the moderator for our upcoming Doc U on Fair Use on Monday, January 30 at the Cinefamily. Chapnick will be probing panelists Michael Donaldson, Russell Hickey and Mitchell Block on what constitutes fair use of copyrighted material, and how the implications of fair use affect you and your next film.
Adam Chapnick is a Principal at IndieGoGo, where he serves as CEO of Distribber.com, a new-model flat-fee distribution service that places independent films on digital sales platforms such as iTunes, Netflix and Amazon while allowing filmmakers to keep 100% of their revenue. Adam speaks regularly on cutting edge distribution strategies at markets and festivals including Sundance, South By Southwest, Digital Hollywood, AFM, WestDoc, Distribution U at USC, The Conversation, American Cinematheque and elsewhere. Adam proudly serves as Vice President of the Board of Directors of the International Documentary Association.
Chapnick's experience in the field will no doubt help the panelists and audience members unravel the legal intricacies of fair use. We're looking forward to a lively discussion for friends of the IDA and extended members of the documentary family!
Doors to the Cinefamily will open at 7pm. Be sure to buy your tickets in advance to ensure your seat at this event. Remember, IDA Student Members get their Doc U tickets for only $5!
