6:32 pm - Brian Flemming - Copyright and Creative Commons

Brian was a guest on the Digital Production BuZZ on June 23 talkin about his recent successful independent production, The God Who Wasn't There. This time we'll talk with Brian about his involvement with Free Cinema and Creative Commons licensing. Hang onto your hats, this is going to be one interesting interview!

In addition to working in film and theater, Flemming is an activist on copyright issues and writes a highly popular personal blog on the subject. His full biography, well worth reading, is available on IMDB.

Brian Flemming is a film director and playwright whose work has been called "jaggedly imaginative" by the New York Times, "a parallel universe" by the BBC and "immensely satisfying" by USA Today. His films and plays are marked by a unique ability to spark cult-like devotion in their fans, appeal to critics with their intelligence and complexity, and still reach out to a wider audience. The Fox News Channel dubbed Flemming "a young Oliver Stone."

Flemming was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley and studied English at the University of California, Irvine.

His career before "The God Who Wasn't There" spans "Hang Your Dog in the Wind", which spawned the one-time 1997 film festival in Park City called Slumdance. This legendary film festival, never seen again, spawned a host of imitators in the years following its appearance. Slumdance led to recognition by indie-film kingmaker John Pierson before Flemming's next major project - a stage musical, Bat Boy: The Musical, based on a story about a half-bat half-boy in the outrageous tabloid Weekly World News.

Bat Boy: The Musical, co-written with Keythe Farley and Laurence O'Keefe, it made it's way from humble origins in a small Los Angeles theater in 1997 to an Off-Broadway season in 2001, where the play won the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Musical Off- Broadway and six Drama Desk nominations.

Flemming's second feature film, a faux documentary about the assassination of Bill Gates called Nothing So Strange (2002) brought him notoriety and critical acclaim but no distribution due to the timidity of major distributors. Nothing So Strange made history on October 23, 2003, when the film had its simultaneous debut in theaters and as an internet download, becoming the first film ever to be commercially available in all countries at the same moment.
