Our most heartfelt condolence go out to everyone affected
by Hurricane Katrina!
The unselfish efforts of many volunteers continue to bring some sense of comfort to the many people who have been transported to many areas away from their
homes. Many have been brought to the Austin area and we have been doing our part by donating clothes, money and volunteering.
The American Red Cross, Network For Good, Habitat For Humanity, and North Shore Animal League America are among the many organizations accepting donations and connecting those who want to help with
those in need.
Please offer whatever aid you can to the victims of the Hurricane Katrina disaster. |

Music cues have been slowly coming in. We will be listening to these songs as they arrive and making decisions on them. We will not respond unless we feel a song may be close to what we are looking for. We may select several songs for the same scene and then make the final decision during post-production. If we do feel your song meets our needs, we will let you know. As the use of anyone's song will be non-exclusive you will still be able to pitch your songs if you have other opportunities. Synch and Master fees will be paid. A cue sheet will be forwarded to ASCAP, BMI or any other performing rights organization that a song may be registered with.
