Welcome to the film & TV world. This is how its almost always done.

Even when I had song in contention for Iron Man. It came down to last minute decisions.


I understand big films with big budgets when you can pay big money to usually get something that really fits, but when it's a tiny film it seems awfully weak to cast a desperate net at the last moment. It tells me that they don't value the music in their film much and depend on a third party to find something, anything, that can work at the last second. They're lucky to have Dom assisting, but most indie film people I have dealt with who have limited or no budget they are often all the more concerned with getting the right music for their vision. But yeah, I know that's not the rule of thumb on any size budget... Laskow has told me that for decades which is why they're such a useful resource. I really appreciate Dom's professionalism and the fact he came here, got permission to post and agreed to my requests and followed through. He's definitely someone I want to support. His director is lucky to have him.. hopefully we can help him with a few tracks.

For most non major movies, music is always an afterthought when it comes to getting the rights, replacements, etc. Par for the course. And yes, when someone has a good music sup working the film, its a great thing.
