Keyser: I think she has, yes. I sent both her manager and record label copies. Maria Mochnacz, filmmaker who's done PJ's video, heard about it just after the premiere and contacted me for a few copies. I went to her office and dropped a few off. She insisted she'd help me get the rights once she'd shown it to Polly. She was enthusiastic to talk with me until, one day, it was dropped. No more contact. I'd assumed PJ had seen it and didn't like it.

I have the same feeling

<<Keyser: I wasn't going to be "that guy" who followed people around.>>

Most likely, that's the reason he's run into so much opposition from Polly, her management, etc. The World's getting smaller and smaller with 24-hour news cycles, growing populations and most importantly, the dissolution of privacy.

The way I remember it, they got permission from Polly's tour manager, not her (actual) manager. So it would seem he got more-or-less unofficial permission to film, probably without Polly's okay.

I can see why he'd want to do this sort of end-around because of course Polly would be highly unlikely to consent to this anyway.


Whatever happened with the footage from last year's LA Wiltern gig? Wasn't there supposedly lots of professional video being shot?
