Summary

In this December 2015 email exchange, Lisa New updates Jeffrey Epstein on her difficulties securing permission from Woody Allen's legal team to use footage she filmed with him for an online course/TV episode. She thanks Epstein for arranging the taping and provides a list of other high-profile artists involved in her project (including Nas, Herbie Hancock, and Lena Dunham) hoping it might sway the decision. Epstein replies briefly, dismissing the list of artists and demanding a 'list of policticans' [sic], implying that political pressure or names would be more effective than artistic peers in securing the permission.

Dear Jeffrey,
As you probably know, Woody Allen's legal team said that we couldn't use the film we shot of him: online,
for broadcast, anywhere.
It was a fantastic experience taping with him and so, even if I can't ever use the footage, I'm still grateful to
you for making the day possible. But of course I'd like to use the footage. I decided when--way back-- we got
this very negative answer back from his lawyers that I should just take my time about asking --since it would
take us 2 years to be ready to edit the footage anyway (The online course is chronological. When I taped
Woody we were still back in 1730. Now we've gotten to the 1920s)
Well, we've now arrived at the season when we'll be editing materials on William Carlos Williams for our
course on Modernism and, as we discussed on Saturday, on poetry and other arts, The Poetry of Art, Sport,
and Play
I would also, of course, love to make a tv episode out of the conversation, but the threshold question is
whether he'll let us use it for anything at all. In case it would matter,
Other performers who have already taped with me include
John Lithgow,
Diane Paulus
Julie Taymor
Nas
Eve Ensler
Damian Woetzel
Kate Burton
Lil Buck Riley
Alfre Woodard
Herbie Hancock
Tony Kushner
Natalia Zukerman
and those who have agreed to tape with me include
Sally Field
Lena Dunham
Yo Yo Ma
Anna Deveare Smith
and more.
