Haven't posted a lot here I believe, but making $ with film/TV depends on so many things.

I've had 10 seconds placements played 100 times per mon th giving me more backend money than some exclusive upfront fees for a track...
If you get snippets on CNN, FOX of 10 secs, they might end up giving you 4 numbers every quarter.
