I am making an independent film and want to use a few news clips that have celebrities in them. I know I need to get the license from the news source, but do I also need to get permission from the celebrity or is this considered fair use or public domain?

I’m shocked and saddened by the fact that no one has seen fit to answer your question. If I had any idea how to answer your question, I would do so post haste! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you. Watch the movie Bowfinger to see how consumate professionals handle this situation!

This sounds very important! Have you tried a google search, my friend? They are amazing!

I do hope it all works out for you.

Lots of Love, Good Luck, and Best Wishes!!
