Filmmaker Scores Big With Independent Bands
Website: http://www.myspace.com/custodythemovie (AKRON, OH) – Every low-budget, feature-length film faces similar challenges, and one of the hardest to overcome is scoring a film with quality music. Traditional means of using music in film often times prove too costly to overcome, and independent filmmakers are left unsatisfied with their final product. When those challenges faced director, Eric Stuyvesant, he turned to cyberspace. Using MySpace.com, Stuyvesant was able to network with bands that were in similar situations of trying to garner exposure on a shoestring budget. “Bands that have yet to be discovered are much easier to work with,” says Stuyvesant, “They’re more willing to listen to creative ways of securing rights to their music. It’s all about exposure.” Similar to what actors have done for years, bands signed onto Stuyvesant’s latest project, “Custody”, using a deferred point schedule. “In the long run they’ll probably make much more money than they would had I bought the music outright.” A deferred point schedule refers to a profit sharing plan used by filmmakers that aren’t financed by studios. By using this method Stuyvesant feels secure that there’s added incentive for built in marketing. “These bands will reach audiences that never would heard of me otherwise”, says Stuyvesant, “and in turn we’ll take their music to places it’s never been. It’s win-win. Some of their fans will have to have a copy of our film, and some of our fans will have to have one of their CDs” Bands from MySpace.com included in the film include Dig Jelly, Zach, Mezz Recipe, Ska-Ker Moms, A Ballad Alchemy and 2 Skinny Dorks. In what’s quickly becoming Stuyvesant’s trademark, “Custody” deals with the trials and tribulations of being a single-father using both drama and comedy to expound on his message. “Custody” is now available on DVD and can be purchased at www.LucidVisionEntertainment.com/custody.htm or at www.MySpace.com/custodythemovie
