• 16:48 @sfstagewalker there isn't a ban on student adaptations. But you have to ask, and we have to have the rights to grant. #

• 16:57 @MariaBarrett what kind of producer? The word covers about a dozen different functions. #producers #
• 16:58 @sfstagewalker That was the Swiss "Day I Swapped My Dad' student film that turned up on TV. But we didn't ban. #
• 16:59 @theblacklily depends on whether they got the rights from the Weinsteins or not. #

• 03:20 @JacobMartin For me, insomnia is lying awake and sleepless. I'm happily working, waiting for my body clock to catch up with the timezone. #
• 03:21 @Jack_Mirth I think the Weinsteins took it as part of their leaving Miramax deal. #
