Appeals Court Revives Lawsuit Over Coachella's Radius Clause Restrictions

If you’re a fan of Shane Carruth‘s directorial efforts, then you’re probably one of the many diehards that love every frame of his features. He’s the type of filmmaker, even with only a relatively small filmography featuring two feature films, that is able to engender such fanatical support.

A court in New York has thrown out a copyright infringement lawsuit filed against Netflix, Apple and Amazon over the use of an unlicensed children’s song in a documentary about a group of burlesque dancers. The case was dismissed on the basis that the inclusion of the song was ‘fair use’.

Shane Carruth rarely plays it safe. An actor, director, screenwriter, composer, and producer, his major achievements—“Primer” and “Upstream Color”—remain idiosyncratic and unique in their execution and deconstruction of science-fiction.

You’ve likely already heard the rumors: 47-year-old filmmaker Shane Carruth has suggested he’s going to retire. The creator of the surreal and mind-bendingly ambitious sci-fi films, “Primer”(2004) and “Upstream Color” (2013), Carruth hasn’t been able to get many of his films off the ground and there was already a long, almost-ten-year gap between the two features he’s been able to bring to the screen.

Shane Carruth remains a rare figure in the cinematic landscape. His major achievements: “Primer” and “Upstream Color”—are idiosyncratic and unique in their execution and deconstruction of the sci-fi genre.

And that’s exactly what writer-director Nicholas Ashe Bateman delivers in the first teaser for the film.

Iggy Azalea's first two Instagram pictures of 2020 threw many fans off after they thought the rapper welcomed her first baby boy with fellow rapper and boyfriend Playboi Carti.
