As laws radically change, art interventions and protests flair in our polarized society, and the need for documenting history is incredibly urgent. But what are your rights as a filmmaker? And what are your responsibilities to those you film?
This practical seminar from veteran filmmaker Kevin Frech has two parts: the first covers issues from interacting with law enforcement to understanding property rights, on-camera releases as well as protecting yourself and those around you.
The second part includes tips to get the best, most impactful footage you can: better framing, better lighting, and better sound.
This workshop is ideal for citizen activists, journalists and socially-engaged artists.
