Access Film Music
2013 - 2014 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 upcoming Film Festival Music Sampler Compilations.
Our plan is for each Access Film Music Festival Sampler to feature a multi-disc release: One collection of "Vocal" recordings in a variety of styles and genres, and one collection of "Instrumental" selections featuring film and television music, symphonic works, jazz, acoustic, ambient, and other non-vocal oriented music. Artists invited to participate are qualified to reserve one track on either or both, and may opt to include additional tracks on our VIP Flash Drive Samplers. Space is very limited. In previous years, every Film Festival Sampler has sold-out, and we expect the same for our 2013 - 2014 Festival Sampler releases.
Thanks for your patience while we update this page!
We are very excited about our new program for connecting music-makers with filmmakers -- Check back soon for more information about this great new opportunity from Access Film Music Ltd.
If you'd like to be considered for one or more Access Film Music Festival 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 -- 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 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.

Film Festival Samplers, please email or give us a call

Why include your music on Access
Film Music Festival Samplers?
Since releasing our first Film Festival CD Samplers over 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 ÉCU European Independent Film Festival in Paris, France and 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.

events. In addition to distribution through Access Film Music's direct
personal network of filmmakers, directors, producers and music
supervisors, our participation in the Park City Television festival gift bag program 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 Robby 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
