For the first time, filmmakers have the option of adding music to their productions from a variety of genres by utilizing their exclusive access to the Rumblefish Music Licensing Store®. Rumblefish licensing experts hand-picked appropriate music from bands and labels around the world and made it available to 48 Hour Film Project with an exclusive password protected entry into the Music Licensing Store, giving participants access to a boutique of pre-cleared quality music from well known record labels and up & coming bands. The Rumblefish partnership enables 48 Hour Film Project filmmakers to utilize music through a 3 minute licensing process as opposed to the average 30 hours needed to license one song per film.
