I just finished directing and producing a short film and I’m try to secure the rights for the Christmas song “jolly old Saint Nicholas” by ray smith on Columbia records for it.

Any idea where I could secure the rights to this song for festivals and online? (I’m only needing to use 45 sec of the song)

Thanks in advance

24/m moved to a new city and I need to build a social cycle here.
I’m making progress, but I’m noticing that I don’t really have a hobby. Precovid travelling was my hobby but now that it’s gone I feel a little “lost”. I also loved going to the range but was diagnosed with epilepsy so I can’t anymore

Tips for 6-month eval? Originally hired at 35K as assistant and was told if I performed well, I could expect to make 50K after a year. After one week, the operations manager resigned and I took over as a trial. Officially am operations manager, but no title (only verbal) and no raise. Owner likes benefits over big pay raises. Thinking about asking for 46K, new cellphone and official title change. I'm expecting some negotiating, which I've never done. 24F, AA Bus Admin, and overall good employee

Is $100K low for a senior producer @ creative agency in nyc

Ok production companies. Say I’ve got 3 weeks for you to divide up until I need to shoot. How much time do you want to bid/treat the job and how much do you want to prep? 1 week bid/treat, 2 weeks prep?

What’s everyone using to create estimates for clients and manage resource planning so if the estimates are awarded you have the team in place to deliver. We use Actualize it which is built on FileMaker. I’ve heard of Farmers Wife, F-track and Ceta.

Anyone here work for Viacom, WarnerMedia, Disney, Netflix etc. (Or know somebody who does)? I'm brand new in New York, and I would love to do some networking in the entertainment media industry. Any, contacts, leads or even just a hello would be appreciated! :)

Do vendors provide the agency with a pre-pro book prior to the shoot if it’s a simple drop kit, taking head?

Not sure if there’s a need for it since it’s not a complicated shoot (single cam, direct shot to talent answering questions) but wanted to get a sense. Client wants a meeting the day before the shoot to talk about the production (which we have done a few times already), so not sure if it makes sense to have a formal PPB for this meeting. Thoughts?

How’s the freelance producer market doing these days? Busy, slow?

Best physical comedy directors? I’ve got a decent budget and good creative but it’s a fast one.
