Music Supervision – Film/TV Sync Opportunities

Music plays a role in film, TV, and video games – bass can help set a club scene, violins can create tension, pop music can place a scene or film in a specific era. Music sets the tone for scenes and creates emotion in viewers, that’s why video productions have music supervisors. Learn how to connect your music career to this exciting revenue stream.

Join moderator Cody Partridge (Pear Tree Music Supervision) and guest speakers Everton Lewis Jr (Wracket Music Supervision) and Telan Wong (Vapor Music) for an engaging session on music supervision.
