Brett Gaylor is a documentary filmmaker living in Montreal, Quebec. [Lee, Ellen. " [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2008/02/01/MNNBUP4BB.DTL&type=printable Stanford's Lessig tackling even bigger battle] ", "San Francisco Chronicle", 2008-02-01, p.

His pitch for the documentary "Puff Daddy", about a pot grow-op, won the largest prize at the Banff World Television Festival in 2005. [Dinoff, Dustin. " [http://www.playbackonline.ca/articles/magazine/20050704/banff.html Banff fest bounces back] ", "Playback", 2005-07-04, p. 2. Accessed 2008-06-30.] [Stewart, Anna. " [http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117944452.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&query=banff+and+world+and+television+and+festival&display=banff+world+television+festival Perfect pitch: Content creators meet content buyers in the Rockies] ", "Variety", 2006-06-04. Accessed 2008-06-30.]

He is the founder of the Open Source Cinema project and the web producer of Homeless Nation. [Mathewson, Alec. [http://zero.newassignment.net/assignment/interview_brett_gaylor_open_source_cinema "Interview with Brett Gaylor (Open Source Cinema)".] ] [Louter, Lysanne. "They're homeless but connected", "The Gazette", 2005-11-27, p. A6.] He is currently involved in the production of a documentary about the "the changing concept of copyright". [Kirsner, Scott. [http://cinematech.blogspot.com/2007/10/cinematech-filmmaker-q-brett-gaylor-of.html "CinemaTech Filmmaker Q&A: Brett Gaylor of Open Source Cinema".] ] [Sinnott, Shane. " [http://www.montrealmirror.com/2007/032907/load.html The Load-Down] ", "Montreal Mirror", 2007-03-29. Accessed 2008-06-30.] The documentary is expected to include "all kinds of media that the powers-that-be maintain is their "intellectual property." It's quite likely that the film could launch a nasty law suit, but hey, that sounds like good PR for an indy doc!". [Winton, Ezra. [http://artthreat.net/2007/03/108 "Mashing Things Up: OpenSourceCinema and Brett Gaylor".] ]
