Access Film Music
2012 Film Festival Sampler
Compilations
Presented in association with
2012 Film
Festival Sampler Compilations
If you're seeking
opportunities
to get your music in movies, television programs, commercials, and
videogames, Access Film Music Festival Samplers are an effective and
proven path to put your music in the ears of filmmakers, directors,
music supervisors and other key visual media industry personnel.
We are currently inviting submissions for our 2012 Film Festival Music
Sampler Compilations.
Once again for 2012, we will be releasing two separate samplers for
each film festival: The first will feature vocal music in a variety of
styles and genres, and a second sampler will feature instrumental
compositions, open to symphonic works, jazz, acoustic, ambient and
other non-vocal oriented music.
Space is very limited. In
previous years, every Film Festival Sampler has sold-out, and we expect
the same for 2012. Submissions must be received no later than February 27, 2012.
If you'd like to be considered
for one or more 2012 Access Film Music Samplers, send an email to
samplers@accessfilmmusic.net containing links to your recordings. The link
can lead to your website, an EPK on Sonicbids or ReverbNation,
SoundCloud links -- anywhere we can hear your music. If you want us to
listen to a particular track or tracks, please include the song titles
or direct links in your email.
For our samplers, we're only
looking for
broadcast quality master recordings, not demos or live recordings. If
we extend an invitation to include your music on one or more of our
2012 Film Festival Samplers, you will receive detailed instructions on
submitting a master audio file at that time.
There
is a fee to include a track on Access Film Music Festival Samplers,
though there is no fee to submit your music for consideration, so send
us an email today. Pricing and additional details appear below.
If you have questions about our
Film Festival Samplers, please email or give us a call
at 707-7ACCESS (707-722-2377).

physical copy of your
CD. More detailed information about sending your payment and master
audio file will be included in your invitation letter, should you
receive one.
No refunds will be issued, though
if you
miss the master submission deadline, your payment can be applied to
future sampler opportunities.
Requirements
for inclusion on Access Film Music Festival Samplers:
Additional terms and conditions apply, but here are two essential
requirements for including your music on our Film Festival Samplers:
You must own 100% of the composition, and grant Access Film Music Ltd.
a limited non-exclusive “no royalty” promotional license, or have the
song publisher(s) and / or co-writer(s) submit license waivers giving
you permission to include the song on our samplers.
You must own 100% of the master recording to be included on the sampler
and sign our limited non-exclusive “no royalty” promotional license, or
have the individual or entity that owns the master recording do so on
your behalf.
Why include your music on Access
Film Music Festival Samplers?
Since releasing our first Film
Festival CD Samplers ten years ago, we
have helped artists license their music to cutting edge independent
filmmakers as well as major studio projects. Released and promoted at
major film festivals like Slamdance and Sundance in Park City, Utah,
the ECU European Independent Film Festival in Paris, France and most
recently the On Location: Memphis International Film & Music
Festival, in addition to direct personal distribution to directors,
producers, music supervisors, music editors and other film industry
personnel, our highly regarded Film Festival Music Samplers give your
music an opportunity to be heard by key decision makers that select and
license music for film, television and other visual media.
The music on our samplers is in some GREAT company! Some of the
exceptional artists that have been featured on our recent Film Festival
Music Samplers include:
Matthew Moon
- “Soccer Mom”
- Budweiser TV commercial aired during 2008 Beijing Olympics
Barrelhouse
Chuck
- “Cadillac Records”
Craig
Richey
- “Friends With Money”
- “The Gymnast”

Our
Festival Samplers will be made available at all Access Film Music
events. In addition to distribution through Access Film Music's direct
personal network of filmmakers, directors, producers and music
supervisors, our participation in the Slamdance Film
Festival and Park City Television festival gift bag programs has
extended our reach to award winning filmmakers and journalists.
In previous years, our Film Festival Sampler CDs were distributed to
Sundance and Slamdance prize winning filmmakers and celebrities like
Spike Lee, Robert Townsend, Jeff Daniels, Kevin Bacon, Paul Giamatti,
Benjamin Bratt, Kevin Spacey, Jason Ritter, Josh Radnor ("How I Met
Your Mother"), Oliver Platt, Bobcat Goldthwait, David Hyde Pierce,
Shawn Doyle ("Big Love"), Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"),
Michael Penn, Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger from The Doors, and dozens of filmmakers with names we don't recognize (...yet!).
Space is very limited, and not everyone will be offered an opportunity
to have their music included on our Film Festival Samplers. Our strict
screening process ensures that only exceptional tracks will be included.
We seek only the best, most
interesting and engaging music for our samplers, which maintains our
hard-earned credibility with filmmakers, music supervisors and
producers. We strive to produce sampler compilations that contain only
music exhibiting the highest creative, artistic and production
standards.
We also offer opportunities to perform live at our Film Festival
Showcase events. If you’re interested in performing at one of our
upcoming events, please visit: AccessFilmMusic.net/perform
