Why Independence is compatible with Production Deadlines

When Music Supervisors deal with independents rather than majors it all comes down to logistics. Film directors and producers often contact artists for song availabilities when the film is near completion, requiring a quick turnaround. Independent songs are much easier to clear. Whenever you go to a major publishing company or a major record label, there are so many people and so much red tape involved, it's virtually impossible to turn an approval around in under a week or two. With independent labels, your phone calls get answered. The deal is usually one-stop – they can sign off on the publishing and master in one telephone call.
