Lesson #3: Do Not Sell Out Your Vision or Values
“I’m not really that concerned overall to let any sort of licensing tail wag any dog,” says McFarlane. “My mindset is that…if I’m going to do any sort of animation…I do the best animation. I don’t really care if it makes sense if I can’t sell a t-shirt, or if I can’t sell a movie.”

Don\'t Keep Score
Hey, with the national political process well underway, wouldn't it be cool if you had grown up with the President-to-be and he owed you a big favor? WRONG! (Sorry, trick question.)

Access Granted: Stephanie Okereke on the Making of "Through the Glass" Film
Whether in Nollywood or Hollywood, it is rare to find women, especially Black/African women, in executive film roles such as producers and directors. Nollywood A-list Actress Stephanie Okereke bucks the trend with the debut of her first film called "Through the Glass," in which she wrote, produced and directed. "Through the Glass" is about phobias we have in entering committed relationships. It also cuts to the core by addressing some of the reasons we have such phobias, for example, childhood pain. Okereke recently released a trailer of "Through the Glass" and the response has been lots of excitement and buzz! Amidst all the excitement, Ladybrille caught up with the A-list actress for an exclusive all access granted on the making of "Through the Glass." http://www.throughtheglassmovie.com/

Content Protection, Fair Use Have to be Fair for Everyone
Contrary to what they tell governments, the world doesn't revolve around their stuff. In fact once we buy it isn't it our stuff? Some day they'll get a clue like the music industry and audio books industry that once content goes digital there's no turning back. We didn't copy audio tapes and pass them around...we didn't copy VHS movies and pass them around...we didn't copy DVD movies and pass them around...

African super-rich grow richer, move to Richistan
As part of my research on the African brand, I interviewed a Nigerian Hollywood public relations professional recently. Though his clientèle doesn’t consist purely of Africans, being a Hollywood connector he frequently encounters Africans with a bit of money looking to use his services for something or another. As we talked, the topic of money came up and the gentleman expounded on the different groups of Africans with money and their attitudes towards wealth.
Stop Singing “Happy Birthday”
Do you know it’s technically illegal to sing Happy Birthday in public? Yes, that song has a copyright just like any other song and to sing it in public triggers licensing fees to the copyright owners.

Newman’s Own Success: His Dual Career Takes Off
Success did not come immediately for the young actor struggling to stake his claim in Hollywood. After starring in a movie so bad that Newman himself took out a full-page ad in a newspaper to apologize to movie-goers, he returned home to his family in New York, where he again began acting on stage and television. He would go back and forth between New York and Hollywood, starring in various mediocre performances, until 1956, when at the age of 31, Newman finally got his big break.

Lesson #2: Know Where to Draw the Line
Spielberg is a hands-on director, known throughout Hollywood for liking things done right and done his way. Everything from the film’s budget to a specific camera angle had to have Spielberg’s seal of approval. But, he is also widely respected by his peers for knowing where the boundaries lie and when it isn’t appropriate to cross them.

RealNetworks Offers Consumers Another Layer of DVD DRM
Guess you just can't have too much DRM. At least not if you believe RealNetwork's CEO Rob Glaser. He's going to help you rip your DVDs to your HD so you can play them on the go. Of course he doesn't touch Hollywood's DRM and in fact goes them one better...he adds his own unique, really cool DRM on top of it. Then when Hollywood says that's not part of our agreement he does the only logical thing...he sues them!!! Life up in Seattle must be a little dull right now.
