[Fmpro] ASCAP Sundance Composer Brunch Jan 24

[Mark Northam]

ASCAP's Phil Crosland was very specific that "any ASCAP composers at
Sundance are welcome with an RSVP", however he didn't' clarify the "Sundance
Filmmakers and their composers" part as to whether a BMI composer who has
composed for a Sundance film would be admitted or not. You could contact him
at pcrosland at ascap.com and ask - that would probably be the best way to go.

Best,

Mark Northam
