All About Music, Film, TV Retreat Visits BMI

The All About Music Film and TV Retreat brings a small number of talented artists together with music supervisors from L.A. for a week of bonding designed to help the participants get their music into film and TV. When Emmit Martin, the founder and organizer of the retreat, was working in L.A. and trying to pitch music to supervisors, he noticed that office visits were generally not enough to establish successful business relationships. “When you go to somebody’s office, most of the time they’re really distracted, so I thought to myself that there has to be a better way,” explains Martin. “I wanted to start bringing supervisors to Nashville—into our territory—and allow us to host them and show them some Southern hospitality, and the diverse music scene that we have here.” Part of this year’s retreat included a music/luncheon at BMI whic gave songwritiers an opportunity to showcase with some short acoustic sets fro the music supervisors.
