On Monday, July 18th at 3:00 PM PT | 6:00 PM ET, The Black TV & Film Collective and The Filmmakers Legal Clinic at the Cardozo School of Law are partnering up for a conversation on Music Licensing for Films.

Music is a necessary component in films. Whether it’s a well-known artist or your friend’s music produced in his basement, the proper licensing contracts are required. Get a better understanding of synchronization and master use agreements.

Join the BTFC in our ongoing partnership with the Filmmakers Legal Clinic at Cardozo’s School of Law as we talk about music licensing. Learn about the legal intricacies to plan ahead for one of the most important elements of filmmaking that can often turn into one of the most frustrating.
