Question:

How much do music rights cost for use in a film?

Hey guys. I'm an aspiring independent filmmaker and am planning on shooting a film this fall. In general, how much do you think it would cost, per song, to use music in my film. Please tell me where you got your information. Thanks!

I don't know how much it would cost because it depends on the artist. You may just try and email them and ask if you can use theie song and if you can how much.

Oh and by the way, if you want to use a Led Zeppelin song, good luck. They hardly let anyone use a song.

Hope this helps.
