Texas Guinan * Texas Guinan: Texas Guinan: Licensing Fees

"In the Footsteps of Texas Guinan" is a documentary film, now in production, about (who else?) TEXAS GUINAN.
• • As documentary filmmakers try to bring a topic to the screen, some of the challenges involve all those licensing fees. What brings a story alive is the rare archival footage as well as those "rights managed" photos (from Getty Images, Bettman Archive, etc.) — — and, yes, predictably that means paying a full licensing fee. Warner Brothers, for instance, is not about to let us use vintage Texas Guinan film footage for free.

• • Other expenses include traveling to interview people, paying the camera crew (boom operators, lighting staff, etc.), music rights, editing the footage, and more.

• • Thank you to all the wonderful individuals who have already contributed.
• • We're hoping to reach more people before June 16th. Please share this message.
• • During the 1920s, night club was always two words as in "Queen of the Night Clubs."
• • There's more to the story so come back to see us and please support our campaign. Thank you.
