NMR Studio Application

Have questions or want to talk about how you could use our studio to make your dream a reality? Contact us at studio@newmediarights.org or 619-591-8870

NMR is looking for innovative projects that are outside the realm of mainstream studio-produced content. Preference will be given to projects that: contribute to the public domain by committing to creative commons or other versions of open source licensing that permit future creators to reasonably build upon existing creative works , make use of new media distribution channels, and are within NMR's current interests. The NMR Studio is available primarily for individuals and non-profit organizations, but for-profit businesses with projects that meet the stated criteria can apply to use the studio as well.

If you have a great idea, but you don't meet all the requirements, don't worry about it. Send us a form anyway! The last thing we want is to see a great idea lost for all of eternity just because you didn't have a place to make it happen!

Please describe the nature of your project and the equipment/resources that you would like to use: *

Are you interested in using the Studio to edit a project in which you already have footage? Do you need to use the camera off site? What programs will you need to run if you would like to use the computer? Will you need information from NMR staff on fair use guidelines, copyright law, licensing, or other laws?

How long will you need to use the NMR Studio and what stage is your project at now?: *

Do you plan to use a Creative Commons license on your work?: *
