Was wondering how you procured music rights when you produced Clerks, and if you have any advice to this regard? Can you make any deals if the film does not have distribution and is simply going to be shown at film festivals for the time being?
The reason I ask...
I'm almost finished editing my first independent film, and am beginning to consider music and music rights. Much like Clerks, it is a micro-budget film that myself and a buddy are financing. Translation: we don't have squat to pay the big record companies, but we'd obviously like to use some "known" tunes.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

PS: I am considering buying a Buddy Christ to put on my computer monitor. Does its head bob up and down like one of those Mexican Chihuahua Toys? That would be cool.
