As I said below, I'm putting together a 45 minute short, just for the Hell of it. The ultimate goal would be to realease a few DVDs around the country via friends that I've have around the country. I'd also like people to be able to download it off of an official website. The name of the game is recognition and some sort of underground DVD distribution.

As it's written now, there's a scene where the three main characters are sitting around discussing movies. Specifically the Julie Dwayer (sp?)connection in the Jersey trilogy. The character's mention Kevin, Mallrats, and Clerks all by name. Is this a copyright violation of somekind? If so, who do I have to contact to get permission to use the names? Is there a View Askew legal department I can contact?
