ANATOMY OF A CONTRACT

Monday, March 13, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Although many of us still prefer to conduct our business on a handshake, vague verbal agreements can result in ugly mis-understandings. In addition to covering contract basics, this interactive session will help you sharpen your negotiation skills. Instructor: Attorney Mason McBride 

OTHER PEOPLE’S FOOTAGE: FAIR USE FOR FILMMAKERS

Monday, March 27, 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

We’ll screen Other People’s Footage, a 70-minute documentary that explains fair use through on-camera interviews with noted documentarians and legal experts (including Michael Donaldson, the industry’s go-to attorney for clearance and rights issues), illustrative clips and summaries of relevant court cases. A panel discussion with co-directors Diane Carson (professor emerita at St. Louis Community College at Meramec and longtime St. Louis film critic) and Robert Johnson Jr. (professor of Communication Arts at Framingham State University), Erika Cohn (St. Louis University School of Law), and documentary filmmaker Dan Parris (Speak Up Productions) will follow the screening.

Workshops are held at the Regional Arts Commission, 6128 Delmar. Free parking is available behind the Pageant or in the MetroLink lot.

Tuition is $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Can’t afford to pay? Please contact us to request a scholarship.
