Thread Name: Alaska Mike's songs in the movies
Subject: RE: Alaska Mike's songs in the movies
I love you guys. Breezy is right though. The offer to sign the songs is just the first step. There are a lot of people who have to approve of them before they actually make to the final feature film. And I'm sure my songs are not the only ones being sent in for this project.

I've had contract offers on six of my songs previous to this and, so far, nobody has put those six songs in any movies, nor have they appeared on any CD's other than my own. I am definitely a realist going into this project and I'm not planning on quitting my day job any time soon. But I'm still very excited about the possibilities and I just couldn't think of anyone I would rather share that with than my Mudcat buddies.

At this time, I do not know anything about the movie. All negotiations for my songs will be handled by Transition Music. Whatever fees and royalties that are generated will be split between us only if the songs are selected for the film. I do know that the people at TMC like my songs and believe they can make some bucks using them. Thats just fine with me.

So, once again, thanks to all of you for your support and kind words of encouragement. I will keep you all posted on the progress as this thing as it develops. I've signed the contracts and they will be back in the mail this morning. I'll cross my fingers and see what happens now. I'm still having a damn fine week.

Mike
