Hi, everybody.
I am Helena, a independent filmmaker from Brazil a I need your help, please. I will submit a short film at 2006 sundance and slamdance festivals and I can't find how to get the festival rights for the followings songs:
1) Oh Carol - written by Neil Sedaka
2) At the end of the Rainbow - written by Sid Jacobson and Jimmy Krondes
3) Resistance - writtem by Joseph LoDuca
4) Keep Coming - writtem by Joseph LoDuca
In fact I think I need the Synchronization Right, it means to obtain a synchronization license from the music publishers and a master use license from the record companies.
Well, where I can get it ? I search in BMI data base and only find the publishers to Oh Carol, but a phisical address (not Internet). What about the records companies ? How I know how many, who are ? How to know the others ? There is a central organization in USA that has all these informations ?
Not even I know if the fees are very expensive, because my budget is very low and maybe I need to forsake about that.
Please, any help, any information, is welcome.
Thank you for your attention and best regards
Helena
