Guys I'm in talks now to direct a documentary on a famous person who is dead now.I'm new to the whole documentary world. Whats the word on using older footage,pictures or sound related to the person . The family has some unique media we could use, but would more likely would need to use different resources that are available outside the family. More likely will also talk to an attorney this week, but like to get some input from filmmakers here who may have used that type of media before /Thanks for any input
