The Canadian Advantage

When it comes to film and TV, Canadian production budgets are usually much more limited than their U.S. counterparts and need to be subsidized by government funding, adding further restrictions when allotting funds to music. Appealing to Canadian Movie & TV Production Companies is a part of this strategy. Producers and directors often rely on a Music Supervisor's wealth of musical knowledge for support. Some directors and producers are clear down to the specific songs they're after. Others don't have any idea about the music they want for a cue. In those instances, Music Supervisors have complete creative control, and we pitch the genres of music we think will work for different themes or cues.
