Is it quite expensive to put songs into your movies if the songs are well-known?

Thanks for the connection here on 32. Look forward to hearing about your work and projects. Here's a few links if you'd like to join me on twitter or listen to my music: http://www.twitter.com/maxmusiccouk http://www.reverbnation.com/maxmusic Cheers MAX

Hey Alex, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

Hi! We are organizing the Fhilly Fifteen Sec Film Festival to try to help thousands of talents to connect with real world projects. We believe that will set them on a career path in the field they love. For example, every Finalist wins a paid assignment from a company or individual who will put the resulting video project to practical use. So in place of a trophy on the mantle, our winners gain exposure, practical experience, a paid gig and an hellacious resume entry. We would like to invite you to be a part of the Festival - you can play your part as a contestant, as a supporter to our Indiegogo campaign or simply just by spreading the info among your talented friends and coworkers. Learn more about the fest at www.bit.ly/ffsecff

Hey Alex, we recently added the ability for users to subscribe to Lounge topics. To get you started, we've automatically subscribed you to the production topic. You can see the latest posts in your subscribed topics by clicking the My Lounge subscriptions tab on your wall. You can easily add and update Lounge subscriptions by clicking Manage my subscriptions from the same page. Enjoy!

Hey Alex, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Alex, We're very proud to bring to the Stage 32 community an exciting and exclusive event: Rex Pickett - My Life on Spec: The Writing of Sideways. This 6 part series explores the twisted, obstacle filled path Rex travelled while nurturing Sideways from conception to screen. Rex's tale is alternately inspiring and heartbreaking, filled with the highs and lows, the self-doubt, and the paralysis associated with surrendering control of your talent, which should be relatable to any artist. We thank Rex for this exclusive series! It's a gift to the entire Stage 32 community. The intro to the series is live right now. Check it out here. PS - Stage 32 bloggers may link to our blog if they wish to share the series with their readers. Thanks!

Hi Alex, we've just added a new section to your tool bar - Resources. Here you'll find links to the best acting, filmmaking, and screenwriting resources as well as a comprehensive list of film schools and film festivals. We'll be adding new categories and links regularly. One more thing, you can now find the "Messages" link in your sidebar right under your name. Enjoy!

Hi Alex, we've just released a pretty big update that I think you'll be excited about. You can now see posts and updates by everyone in your network right on your own wall. Happy networking!

Hey there, I'm Markus. I have worked as a cameraman and as an editor for German TV stations. I came to London to gain international work experience in September last year. Now I am working for Westminster LIVE, a studio facility opposite the Houses of Parliament. I'm looking for people in London who are working in the field of film/TV/documentary. I would love to get involved in some low/no budget projects. Let's stay in touch and maybe we can start on something soon! Get in touch and tell me what's on your mind!
