Hi All,

It seems that some of the submission instructions have been overlooked, so I have set up a checklist for you to go over before submitting:

 

♪ Is the song you’re submitting on your profile page at www.MusicGorilla.com?

♪ Have you attached the MP3?

♪ Is the song appropriate for the submission?

 

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Here are the latest submissions. In order to submit for these projects, please email alexia@musicgorilla.com the title of the submission, the name of the song(s) you are submitting, Band/Artist name and attach the mp3(s) to the email. Please make sure that the music you are submitting is appropriate for the submission and that the song(s) are on MusicGorilla.com. If the song is not what the supervisor is asking for, it will not be submitted.

 

Due to the high profile nature of some of these submissions, it has become necessary for our music editor to screen certain submissions in order for the Music Supervisors to continue accepting material from Music Gorilla. Also, in certain instances there is a limit to the amount of material we can send, these submissions will also be screened. All screened submissions will be noted.

SUBMISSION 1 – “Judas Kiss”  Independent Feature Film  Deadline: 8/29/10 Limit – 2 songs per submission.
Zachary Wells (Charlie David) is convinced by his best friend and hotshot director  into replacing him as a judge in their film school's annual festival. Zach's one-night stand with a student backfires when that student walks into an interview the next morning calling himself Danny Reyes( Richard Harmon), the name Zach went by when he attended the school. And Danny's film, "Judas Kiss," is a finalist in the competition Zach is judging. Zach's film, also "Judas Kiss," won the festival years before. Zach scrambles for answers. A mysterious, chain-smoking campus tour guide, counsels him: "Change the kid's past, change your future." But how? Zach comes to believe he can mend his life by disqualifying Danny from competition, putting him on a different path than Zach followed. But will Zach's plan work?

SEEKING: Pop/rock soulful ballads(definitely NOT love songs). Lyrics concerning coming of age, redemption. Can be mid or uptempo tracks. MP3s OK.

 

SUBMISSION 2 – “Hemingway and Gellhorn” – HBO Film  Deadline 8/29/10 – Limit 2 songs/artist  
SYNOPSIS: In 1936, Ernest Hemingway (Clive Owen) was already a legend when he met Gellhorn, a novelist and one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th Century, in a local bar in Key West. Their tumultuous romance and subsequent 5-year marriage took them to the Spanish Civil War as Gellhorn(Kidman) stood toe-to-toe with the literary master, putting his famous bravado and iconic style to the test. Gellhorn's competitive nature inspired the novelist to pen one of its most famous novels, "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
SEEKING: Looking for all tempos of music that would have been prevalent during this period . Labels with 1930's and '40s is the deal; especially instrumental jazz pieces like those of Duke Ellington. Also much in evidence during this time frame was Cuban music so with or without vocals from that same era would be great.

 

SUBMISSION 3 – “Sports TV” ESPN  Deadline 8/29/10 – Limit 2 songs/artist

Major League Baseball (MLB) is a staple of ESPN's coverage viewed by millions throughout the year.
SEEKING: High energy hip hop, and rock tracks. If you see ESPN coverage you will get a feel of what is required.
