What is a Film/TV Project?

A Film/TV Project will allow you to request rights needed for a TV Broadcast, Film Festival, or Motion Picture. In addition to the grant of rights to perform and synchronize a musical composition you'll have the option to add additional media, rights and/or options during the license request process.

Film/TV Projects are also known as synchronization projects. It is where you sync music with visuals and broadcast them through movies, television or film festivals.
