HOW we work:
We work in a variety of ways with filmmakers. We have found that many filmmakers have only a distinct musical vision for their project, while others may have only a genre in mind. Each filmmaker requires different attention:
We can help the filmmaker with the distinct musical vision by:
- Giving an estimate of cost and approval possibilities for each song prior to shooting.
- Offering alternative suggestions for songs that end up costing too much, or cannot be approved.
- Clearing, researching, negotiating and licensing all music.
We can help the filmmaker who has a musical genre in mind by:
- Selecting music, which fits the picture as well as the budget.
- Working with record companies and publishers to create a great soundtrack.
- Clearing, researching, negotiating and licensing all music.
