[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation on whether to accept a hybrid theatrical+streaming distribution package for a feature-length music documentary (with a companion soundtrack), based on delivery feasibility, rights clearance and legal exposure, and commercial terms that affect downside risk.

[R0.1] Post-Production Supervisor (speak, public): To ensure we are on track for the distribution package, I need clarity on our planned release sequencing and exhibition expectations. Also, can we review the current status of rights clearance and any outstanding paperwork that we need to finalize? This will help us assess any potential legal exposure and ensure we are ready for distribution.
[R0.2] Distribution Strategy Director (speak, public): I can confirm that we are targeting a 21-day theatrical release window, with SVOD starting on day 22. This should align with our exhibition expectations. Regarding the rights clearance, I suggest we review the outstanding paperwork to ensure we minimize any legal risks that could impact our timeline.
[R0.3] Business & Legal Affairs Counsel (speak, public): To ensure we are aligned on rights clearance, let me share that we currently have 38 music cues in total, with 29 cleared. However, we have 3 cues that were denied and will need replacements within the next 14 days. Additionally, we have signed 112 appearance releases, but 7 are still outstanding. It’s critical we address these to minimize any potential legal exposure as we approach the distribution deadlines.

[R1.1] Post-Production Supervisor (speak, public): To finalize our distribution strategy, I’d like to share our current post schedule: we are aiming for picture lock on August 8, 2026, and the final mix by September 2, 2026. This timeline will help us gauge our delivery readiness. Also, I want to confirm the archive footage list: we have 27 archival clips with 5 pending licenses. Addressing these outstanding licenses is critical for our clearance readiness. Can we discuss how to expedite this process?
[R1.2] Distribution Strategy Director (speak, public): To expedite the process of obtaining the outstanding licenses, I recommend that we prioritize the 5 pending archival clips and collaborate closely with our rights clearance team. Additionally, we should keep an eye on the timeline for the music cues replacements to ensure we meet our distribution deadlines. Can we set up a follow-up meeting to track these issues more closely?
[R1.3] Business & Legal Affairs Counsel (speak, public): I appreciate the updates on the post schedule and archival clips. To further our rights clearance, I’d like to share that the guild and union obligations include SAG-AFTRA new media with a residual base of 3.6% of distributor gross. Understanding these obligations is crucial as we finalize our distribution strategy. Can we discuss how we can ensure compliance while expediting the pending licenses?
