Dave,

Thanks! As a former songwriter myself, I know how it feels to want to have some success with your songwriting craft. Since I am in a position that allows me to get music to a director and ultimately placed in a film, I want to give the JPF members a chance.

For years I have followed the formula that most music supervisors follow which is to utilize trust and well established music reps. Then I expanded to independent artists that I was familiar with or came by good recommendations.

What I've learned along the way is many independent songwriters can (and many want to) learn how to become one of those trusted and recommendable music sources. So, one of my goals is to post film placement opportunities here and use these opportunities be the catalyst for learning.

When I use the term "trusted," I'm talking about working and accepting music from independent songwriters who understand the business of licensing music.

What I encourage everyone here to do is ask questions about all of this. There is the Mentoring Forum so lets have several Q&As there on the topic of all things Music in Film.

So, thank you again Dave and I look forward to the next placement opportunity (which might be music for a horror film).
