5th Indie Film

Post by bmete » Sat Oct 07, 2017 7:50 pm

Wahoo!
I got another placement in an Indie film called Dara Ju---!
This is with a new library to me...

If you doubt the value of Taxi- this is how this happened..
A TAXI member, who I had seen on the forum, and on a couple of facebook groups ( but really didn't know) saw a youtube live stream from a publisher who was looking for Cocktail Jazz.
He sent me a note via facebook... saying I should check this out... I watched the youtube clip and sent this publisher a number of tracks. Unfortunately, his company is exclusive, and all the tracks I sent were already signed. BUT, he loved what he heard and we connected on the phone for about an hour. I agreed to write 5- 10 tracks (Exclusive for him).
Then he came by last years Rally so we could meet face to face and have a drink.

Long story short, I delivered the first 5 in January, and the second six in May. This placement was a Piano Jazz Trio from the first batch...


Please don't tell me Taxi doesn't work.... FORUM + RALLY = RELATIONSHIPS & FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS+ NEW OPPORTUNITIES+ PLACEMENTS ==$$$$$$

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Rally....

Bob

Congrats, Bob, that is awesome!! Taxi really is the best of the best. I have had similar experiences - I recently signed with a couple publishers and wrote an album for one of them and it all started with a connection in these forums. Trust the formula! The Taxi community is filled with some of the absolute kindest and most generous people I have ever met, it truly is a wonderful place.

Very cool, Bob! I think I know who your recommender was, and who the library is. Super exciting to see things work out like this!

And of course, this is yet another reason why these forums are such a major source of success for so many of us who hang out here. I still can't believe that there are thousands of Taxi members who don't take advantage of this little corner of the internet!! Oh well, more pie for us, I suppose.

Congrats to you, Bob.
