Public Act U.S. 151
(2001) directed by J. Stan McCauley On DVD, VHS
Description: This is a compelling story of a man that has been accused of being a Christian. A top-secret federal task force known as the S. I. S. - Sedition Information Services, arrests him. With overwhelming evidence against him, and the death penalty if found guilty, how would you plead?
The Gospel According to Lenny
(2000) directed by J. Stan McCauley On VHS and DVD
Description: This is the story of a young man at the cross roads of life as he must decide whether or not to stop his abusive ways and follow Jesus. Set in an urban environment all will find this mini trailer fun to watch, but not half as fun as the whole movie.
Isaiah Fifty-Four Seventeen
(1995) directed by J. Stan McCauley On VHS and DVD
Description: This fast-paced MTV-esque video is aimed at deterring kids from being part of a street gang. This video is shockingly realistic and contains frank and graphic language! This powerful collage of scenes with various gang members, a couple of major drug dealer and a black Christian minister, all set to compelling rhythms. While the sound is not always perfect, the music and the visual rhythm of Isaiah is compelling and professional. The film culminates in a moment of reckoning for several of the gang members convincing with improvised dialogue than it may have been with a rehearsed script. The result is frighteningly real.

Public Performance Rights
Definition
The public performance right is the right to recite, plays, dance, act, or show the work at public place or to transmit it to the public. In the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, showing the work's images in sequence is considered "performance." Sound recordings - recorded versions of music or other sounds - do not have a public performance right.
Restrictions
Commercial films and videotapes have copyrights that restrict the manner in which they can be shown. There are two specific issues to consider:
1. There is a clear distinction between "home" versus "public" viewings. If you buy or rent a film or a videotape, you always have permission to show it in your home. However, you are not allowed to show it in a classroom, library, church, club or any other public forum without a public performance right.
2. If you are charging an admission (or viewing) fee, it always requires an explicit public performance right.
How to Obtain Public Performance Rights
Thus if you wish to show a film or video tape outside your home and/or charge money, you must have an acceptable public performance right. There are several ways to obtain these rights:
- Purchase a "Public Performance Copy” of the movie from Light Source Productions/J. Stan McCauley that comes with public performance rights.
- If you already own a copy that you purchased at a consumer price you will need to obtain written public performance rights from J. Stan McCauley who is the copyright holder.
