An At The Helm is an hour-long lecture-style session with a key industry Decision Maker.
In recent years, U.S. Fair Use Law has revolutionized documentary filmmaking. “At the Helm with Peter Raymont: Fair Use”, will explore one documentary filmmaker’s experience in using the Fair Use provisions of U.S. copyright law to incorporate footage from feature films, TV shows and commercials in several productions. White Pine Pictures has incorporated footage from these sources in their films “All Govern- ments Lie”, “The Corporate Coup d’État”, “Margaret Atwood”, “Toxic Beauty”, “Buffy Sainte-Marie” and “Ice-Breaker”. They work closely with the L.A. law firm that has led the way in interpreting and testing Fair Use provisions of US copyright law. Excerpts from the films will be screened to demonstrate what is admissible under Fair Use.

Today, more and more documentaries are being funded and greenlit based purely on a short sizzle reel. Creating sizzle reels is an art that not only opens funding doors but also showcases directorial and cinematic vision. But how do you craft a sizzle that gets your message across in such a short running time? How do you create a reel before you’ve even made the film? What should a sizzle reel even show? Having overseen dozens of successful sizzle reels for documentaries, sizzle reel veteran and director of Wheelhouse Creative Jeremy Workman will demystify this very unique process and demonstrate what makes a stand-out sizzle.
