Clearing music rights for film can be a frustrating legal headache, especially for the first-time producer. Film Independent is pleased to welcome back Music Supervisor Brooke Wentz for a primer on licensing music for your drama or documentary.

Brooke will cover such topics as copyright clearance, synchronization and master use licensing, music supervision, public domain and cue sheets. Ideal for composers and producer/directors, this seminar will give an in-depth, frank look at the difficulties and perceptions of music publishers and labels and how not to land a cease-and-desist letter.
