Summary
This email chain from December 8, 2015, involves a request from Leah Reis-Dennis (on behalf of Harvard Professor Lisa New) to Jeffrey Epstein, asking for his assistance in securing a legal release from Woody Allen for previously filmed footage to be used in the 'Poetry in America' initiative. Epstein apparently forwarded this request to Soon-Yi Previn, who responded to Epstein stating that they were open to the project in principle, subject to strict controls over advertising, final cut approval, and legal review of the release form. The document highlights Epstein's role as a gatekeeper for access to Woody Allen.

Dear Jeffrey,
My name is Leah Reis-Dennis, and I'll be heading operations for Lisa's new non-profit, Verse Video Education.
She's asked me to be in touch with you about helping us get a release from Woody Allen.
She's asked me to be in touch with you about helping us get a release from Woody Allen.
First, I wanted to send along the rough stringout of footage from the conversation with Woody a couple of years
ago on "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. This is totally unedited and uncut footage, but we
would love the opportunity to turn it into something great.

If Woody Allen agrees to let us use the footage, he will be in distinguished company. To date, we have filmed
conversations about poetry with dozens of distinguished Americans including:

The conversation would be part of a large multiplatform initiative that Harvard Professor Lisa New has under
way to bring poetry into the mainstream, and, especially, into English Language Arts classrooms in the United
States and around the world. The initiative, Poetry in America, includes a HarvardX online course, a television
series we're creating with WGBH to be paired with PBS LearningMedia segments for the classroom, and, a
series of online professional development courses we're creating for ELA Middle and High School teachers and
for their students.
