Description:	The skinny on all things related to music documentaries: the concert films we love, the narrative docs that star our musical idols and the “mini-doc” DVD ephemera now in vogue. Even some scribblings on music used in documentaries. And the occasional ramble about copyrights and the filmmaking process. I help produce, commission and acquire music docs at VH1 for our VH1 Rock Docs series. Find out more about me at www.warrencohen.com
