Music Supervisors Jen Taunton (Midnight Choir, Level Two Music) and Kevin Call (Midnight Choir) will take you through the basics of sync, from what is a sync deal to accessing the sync world.
They’ll talk through the dos and don'ts when responding to brief to give you the best chance at a sync licensing deal.
