Gavyn, where would shooting for a book or movie fall? Editorial or
commercial? If, for example, you're filming for a documentary movie that
will be shown in theaters where they sell tickets, is that considered
editorial or commercial use? What if that same movie was a drama that was
fiction?
Thanks,
Mike Boom
