Independent Film and Music: The Art of the Business

Targeted specifically toward the needs of independent filmmakers, this seminar will cover the creative and aesthetic issues of music in film and show a variety of alternative ways to get what you want. Panelists will discuss the importance of music and utilizing the composers and music supervisors as creative partners to further enhance and complement what is put on film. Find out how to get the music you want, whether your budge is $50,000, $200,000, or $3,000,000. Learn how to budget music ahead of time by using a working knowledge of the way the costs break down. Director/composer team Gary Walkow and Mark Governor (Notes from the Underground) will talk about their recent experience with the creative as well as business aspects of their score. Linda Kordek, professional musician turned independent agent will moderate this panel.
