Why take this course?

HERE IS AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH IN FILM-MAKING:

THE BIGGER ARE YOUR HOPES, EXPECTATIONS AND AMBITIONS REGARDING YOUR FILM, THE MORE ATTENTION YOU MUST DEVOTE TO YOUR MUSIC LICENSING STRATEGY.

Music is one of the most crucial elements in a film. Every film lover know this. However, for filmmakers, music can be the source of major headaches.

WHY?

Because the act of putting music on a film is not easy, fast, nor it is cheap. It can cost you lots of money and the decisions you must make can affect you and your film for years... and in ways you cannot foresee.

THIS COURSE MAKES IT ALL EASY TO UNDERSTAND.

MUSIC LICENSING FOR FILMS: WHAT A PRODUCER SHOULD KNOW will explain to you, the entire process of getting the music you want into your film. We are going to explain:

  • What are the types of music rights.

  • Who are all the parties involved in the process.

  • What rights you should pay for.

  • What options you have that can lower the costs of music rights.

  • How the music ecosystem works.

  • What elements can be negotiated.

  • Who you should talk to.

  • Who you should avoid talking to.

  • What elements can influence the price of a license.

  • How bad decisions can hurt your film (and your career).

  • ...And so much more.

This class will help you navigate the complex world of music licensing for films. If you are a producer, a director or a screenwriter - and you have a project - you know you will want to put music in your film, TV series, video games, web series or any other audiovisual content you may be working on. I will cover all the aspects, elements and steps you must understand and explain to you the whole process.

WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE?

Because we both know you will be needing music on your film. Even if you are still writing your script, I KNOW YOU HAVE SONGS IN YOUR HEAD THAT YOU WANT ON THAT GREAT SCENE! Well, I will tell you exactly how you should proceed on this and many other cases.

LEARN ABOUT HOW THE MUSIC INDUSTRY INTERACTS WITH YOUR FILM.

WHY AM I HERE?

Because I am a filmmaker just like you and I know - first hand - how the film market can be merciless when it comes to films that have problems with their licensing. In fact, I have seen countless filmmakers go hysterical because they did not think about these issues BEFORE writing, budgeting, production and post. I lost count on how many hours I spent with filmmakers on the phone helping solving the mess they put themselves into.

DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!

Seriously! Take this course and get a clear understanding on all the things you need to know. I made this course from the book I wrote on the subject - MUSIC LICENSING FOR FILMS: WHAT A PRODUCER SHOULD KNOW.

GET AHEAD OF THE GAME!

The things you will learn here will give you an edge over other filmmakers and make your live easier. You will able to solve the many complex scenarios a filmmakers faces when it comes to music licensing. I also threw into the class, lots of examples that will help you understand this complex subject in no time.

THIS COURSE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE. HOWEVER, IT COULD HAVE GONE MORE IN DETAIL ON HOW TO BEGIN THE LICENSING PROCESS.

This was super informative and easy to follow along with. I would've been interested in more detail regarding music supervisors and how to come into that role

Short, clear explanations of the basic concepts with plenty of great examples. As a former classical musician, I appreciated the "All by myself - Rachmaninoff" example very much (unfortunately general public is unaware of this). Overall, great course. Would definitely be interested in a second, more in-depth course on the topic.

Quite interesting. The subject is not complex to understand. But don't take music licensing for granted. It has so many details that must be taken into account since the very beginning of your production. It will avoid lots of setbacks and unexpected costs.
