works, Christmas and World music pieces, and much
more.... enough to fill the wide range of emotional palettes

BME and Fintage bridge the global worlds of music & film
BME and
Fintage House have joined forces to form a unique creative alliance and worldwide
administration arrangement.
Based in the
Netherlands, with offices and managers around the globe, Fintage House
/ Fintage Music is a leading worldwide administration company specializing in
collections for rights holders in the music, film and television
industries. In addition to overseeing music publishing
administration (including the BME catalogues), Fintage collects artist
royalties (as applicable
throughout various territories) and royalty/back-end fees for
screenplay writers, directors and production companies. BME will
work to bring artists and catalogues to the attention of Fintage to
satisfy their collection needs (contact BME for more administration information).
With
a
history of banking and escrow accounting for some of Europe's largest
film companies (and a reputation of never losing a dime for any
client), Fintage's ties to the worldwide film business synergize
perfectly with BME's creative approach to the music industry, which
includes utilizing BME's catalogues, songwriter/composer and
artist/producer clients, and BME's
experience and expertise in music supervision and consulting.
"This is just one
more example of how BME strives to be unique in the entertainment
industry it serves," states BME prez Alan Brewer. "We now can
offer a worldwide reach to our music clients, a more comprehensive
music component to Fintage
and its production clients, and worldwide relationships that we can
bring to our friends in the music supervision, film production and
artist/label worlds." Give us a call to see how this alliance can
benefit you... Its a creative world out there!!
