Ok, obviously i understand the draw in getting someone to score your movie for cheap...but i was wondering if anyone knew of the best way to get ahold of labels/agents/and or artists....to see about licensing pricing and what not, or if anyone has had any experience with licensing music for their film..and what was the process of doing so.

Hmm, well with one process we tried with the Misfits was very long and jackassey. We finally got in contact with the management and told them of our request. We then got the forms we had to fill out, the forms were very complicated (well we thought so). We didn't end up getting a Misfit song in our movie, because of the whole form thing. We were so busy with all the other production and post production that we simply opted for local artists.
For our next picture we've actually got in contact with a national label which we wont mention just in case it falls through. We went on the band's website, found their "Business" email. We then wrote them and told them about what we wanted, the manager wrote us back and asked for a sample of our previous work, and they are happy that we're interested in having the band's song in our upcoming movie. So we're sending them our movie "Bad Friend" and we'll see what happens, if we can or can not use a song of theirs in our next movie.
So some can make you run around with all this jackassey kinda stuff, and some are really helpful. If you're interested in using some bigger named bands some tips might be to go to the band's website and check out their contact info. Or you could look in the c.d. booklet for their contact info. Good luck with that.
