A1R3K did you get a chance talk to your record (2257) person?

[tony286]

Was curious what happened with finding out info?

[MandyBlake]

yes i'd like to know too!

[Jace]

I am pretty sure you can email or icq him, probably get a faster response, he is uber busy these days

[seeric]

Yes sir!

Here is her unedited comments to me. Let me know if you want anything clarified.

I don't think people that do computer based records keeping will be helped much, but here it is.

Post any questions and I will ask her.


******Her response to me*************


The first thing that the FBI looked at was how we cross reference within the records keeping process. All of our 18 USC 2257 records keeping administration is done the old school method, handwritten model releases and documents in folders and file cabinets,(which they actually said that they have found that companies that keep it handwritten like we do are more organized and correct in paperwork). Each artist name has a folder with their legal name inside of it. Then we have folders with their legal name referencing what movies and internet content they have been in. Then each movie has its own folder with all of the proper paperwork; copies of the first page of the model release, copies of the proper ID’s, cast list, scene breakdown, extra’s and bonus scenes, trailers, compliance statement, music compliance, and sleeve. That’s it. Pretty much if you have your cross reference stuff together and you can easily pull out who was in what movie (on top of having all the correct paperwork), than the FBI knows that they won’t have to be there too long. They told me that they can pretty much tell how organized you are and how long it’s going to take within the first 5 to 10 minutes.

seems pretty to the point. I mean unless people are going to ask questions about how they have things filled. That would just be stupid though. Get some lawyers and shit on that case.

Very to the point post and what people should have had done for years if you are a primary producer. Good to know that people are top of their game. respek.

not stupid to ask any questions when you consider that these guys got the thumbs up from the feds on their filing system.

Sounds like good common sense to me - something not everyone has in the biz. I'm sure several people will be helped by this

I hope you guys took her out for a good dinner and gave her a kickass raise.
