    henry jenkins is director of comparative media studies for MIT
    and was one of the first in the academic community to research
    fandom and fan culture, in particular fan-generated art such as
    fan fiction, fan films, and filk (fan-generated folk music).
    
    jenkins was recently interviewed on cnet regarding how
    companies such as lucasarts respond to fan films and similar
    phenomena.	for example, lucasfilms recently partnered with
    atomfilms to distribute independent star wars-related films,
    and even had an official fan film contest, but with some fairly
    strict rules: "You can only use these sounds we provide you,
    you can't use copyrighted materials and appropriate or
    recontextualize it, you can do parodies, but you can't do
    dramatic expansions of the "Star Wars" universe."
