Now it's lesson well on Saturday.
Not that it is new to our higher education students, in fact. But for here it is. Saturday and Sunday are pretty sacred offices nuiorchesi. On Saturday and Sunday also strange things happen on the subway, in the sense that moving trains, do not let it pass, closed stations, delete them, or they say, Saturday and Sunday at your stop the train only goes in one direction, then if you get there you must go to the next stop and then go back.
They do it because nobody is on Saturday in a hurry. But I
I was, late for class EL (Entertainment Law, I have already said, shit!) that would be held in school but on the 51th and 5ave. I am blessed with in Union Square, take the 456 and we get to the place of the lesson.
Elena Paul, our favorite lawyer, is a 40-year old chanteuse with talking with the insurmountable problem of being a lawyer, but nevertheless manages to collect a lot of sympathy and maintaining an interest in the class.
tells us that she manages this study of lawyers working free (????- will explain later, I had even stopped listening) to give legal assistance to independent filmmakers who are launching their projects.
work for free because in some states lawyers need to devote a part of contract of their working time to non-profit work. In some states this time is greater, in others it is minor.
Specifically happens that there is overabundance of lawyers in New York in general, and therefore many of them are willing to work for free while working, and eventually become legal advice if an actual case, perhaps be called to assist a customer.
So it happens that $ 50-100 for the parcel, which is the need to advance the company, their contracts look at you free, you review the cards before meeting the distribution, you prepare the papers for privacy, etc.. Lawyers
free on Fifth Avenue.
... me laugh.
Then during the class they made us read the disclaimer that has been prepared for the extras of Borat ....
When Michelle saw her (never take my mouth shut (I did not want to be naughty)) said, but this is the same form that they sign the actresses involved in my films! Ahahhaah
In practice, the sheet says I, Semple guy, I give the rights to use my picture for tot money etc etc etc ... and I promise not to report and never ever have to denounce anything that will be shown, including scenes humiliating for me, affecting my image, images, obscene, racist, etc. ....
said that she virtually none of those who sued was able not only to win, but you get to a real process.
then showed us a draft of a contract for a funding request for a movie ....
If I can pass unharmed through the party finance / law, I would be happy trooooppo.
A hug to all
