Adventures In LA: Team Rights Workshop Talks About Music, Movies & Numbers
Dear Filmmakers & Friends,
Team Rights Workshop is enjoying this particularly foggy San Francisco summer and getting ready to head south for the Los Angeles Film Festival at the end of the month. Here are some updates from our world of demo CDs, cue sheets, deadlines and “I’d like to license The Rolling Stones, pretty please”.
Let’s Talk Numbers: Music Budgeting Sessions In LA
Do you have questions about the cost of music? Are you worried about the cost of temp tracks? In response to popular demand, our team will be holding another round of one-on-one music budgeting sessions with filmmakers in Los Angeles during the 2010 LA Film Festival. Bring song lists, film descriptions and any questions you may have about the music licensing process.
Meetings are 100% free and available on a first-come, first-served bases between the dates of Tuesday June 22 through Friday June 25. Please email Jenna Levy at jenna@rightsworkshop.com to arrange a time.
LA Film Festival
The Rights Workshop is a proud sponsor of the 2010 LA Film Festival. Please sign up for our LA Film Festival party list to receive updates about events, parties and screenings in Los Angeles during the week of the festival.
Also, be sure to catch screenings of these great films we’ve enjoyed working on recently.
- Marwencol. “Marwencol” is a documentary film about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp, who was left with brain damage after several men attacked him outside of a bar in 2000 and coped by creating a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs “Marwencol” with figurines representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town’s many relationships and dramas.
- The Two Escobars. “Two Escobars” pairs the soccer mania of the notorious Medellín crime lord Pablo Escobar and the fate of Andrés Escobar, one of the players for the national Colombian soccer team.
- Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone. “Everyday Sunshine” traces the band Fishbone’s history, influence, and struggle as individualistic, genre-blending artists up against an unforgiving music industry that threatens to pass them by. Featuring interviews with Flea, Gwen Stefani, Ice-T, Perry Farrell, Branford Marsalis, George Clinton, Tim Robbins, Gogol Bordello, ?uestlove, and others.
If you’re reading this, we think you tell great stories and want to hear about the movies you’ve making recently. Please tell us what you’re working on and what you’re listening to! Send us love letters, mixtapes, song clearance requests, creative music search requests, and music emergency S.O.S. requests.
Your sincerely,
The Rights Workshop
