Rising Star Discount

You deserve great audio, you should have great audio!

You want your project to be as good as it can be, cost doesn't have to hold you back.

Why might you need it?

Simple things can make a great idea turn out less than well. Poor lighting, badly built sets, typos in the script that slow down production, any one thing may not ruin the whole project but it can certainly be deeply discouraging. Just the thought of how expensive your work may turn out to be, could make you not want to start working on it in the first place.

If you're facing the prospect of expensive equipment hire, a professional wardrobe, proof-readers or who knows what else, you may feel that cutting costs has to mean cutting corners. If you're thinking about lowering your standards to meet your budget,

What's in it for us?

Do you believe in your project? Really believe in it?

Will it be a commercial success? Critically aclaimed? Will it catapult you to stardom?

Will it make zero money but it's something that really deserves to be made?

If you believe in it, there must be a reason why, right? So tell us about it.

If your creative project is going to be fantastic, having our name on it makes us look fantastic.

What's good for our reputation now is good for our business in the future and that's good for all of us.

We can structure our prices any way we need to, if we want to be involved, we'll find a way to help.

So, what might that mean for you? Here're some examples

Written a book? Want an audio version?

If we think your book will be a success, we may reduce or even waive our production fee in return for a modest royalty share.

Need a professional score?

A full length film score, entirely unique to your project, could be a huge endevour. What if we could create something, in whole or in part, by adapting music that's already on our books? That could be a big saving.

Need a foley track?

Low budget films often have no choice but to use the sounds actually made while filming. Foley is a lot of work but if we think you're going places then a simple credit could be worth cutting our fee to help you get there.

El Mariachi

This little known, Spanish language film had a budget of just 7000 US Dollars but it won multiple awards and launched its creator Robert Rodriguez into a career that would include a Palm D'Or at Cannes, and an estimated net worth of $50 million.

Can you imagine the opportunities it would open up to be able to list Robert Rodriguez as a former client?

Now imagine you're the company that told him "No".

Minecraft

This hugely successful game was developed on a budget of... well, basically zero. True the developer quit his job to finish the work and his time was worth a lot more than nothing but compare that to the eventual selling price of nearly $2.5 billion. With a 'B'.
