Vertical Entertainment has landed North American rights to “The Doc,” a documentary about a rap legend whose life and career was upended after a near-fatal accident.
The Doc, a hip-hop lyricist and producer who wrote for Nwa and Dr. Dre, was involved in a 1989 car crash that took his voice. “The Doc,” directed Dave Caplan, picks up 30 years later as he considers a dangerous experimental surgery that could restore his vocal cords.
Vertical will release the movie in theaters in the spring of 2023, following its world premiere at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
“The Doc is an incredible talent and visionary who helped usher the hip-hop movement into mainstream America,” Peter Jarowey, a partner at Vertical, said in a statement. “As his remarkable life is revealed on screen, it is like watching the history of hip-hop unfold before your very eyes as witnessed by industry legends who count him as a friend,...

Music supervisors have proven to be an indispensable part of visual media, soundtracking movies, television series, video games and all manner of content. Yet the thousands-strong community has no representation as a collective beyond the 12-year-old Guild of Music Supervisors (Gms), and now music supervisors across film and TV are seeking to unionize in an effort to see fair treatment for the craft. The move comes after the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) refused music supervisors’ ask to grant equal rights, including such staples as overtime pay and other basic labor protections and benefits.
Over 75 of Film and Television Music Supervisors signed union cards agreeing to have IATSE, on their behalf, petition the AMPTP for voluntary recognition of their union.
Music Supervisors have wanted union representation for a long time and with the support of IATSE, that time has come. Speaking up has always been a challenge...

Music supervisors are now solely eligible to win the Emmy in their category, as part of rules changes announced today by the Television Academy. Previously, showrunners who contributed musical ideas to their shows were eligible too, and have won three times.
The new rules clarified entry requirements in the category. Emmys can only be awarded to the “credited music supervisor… A Music Supervisor’s on-screen credit must reflect their primary function as a music supervisor.” Additionally, music supervisors no longer need to upload their cue sheets with their submissions.
In the past, some shows have added the showrunner’s name to the entry as well. This rule modification paves the way for music supervisors to receive that sole recognition. Many in the music for screens community have voiced displeasure in the past with the co-credit allowance.

The Guild of Music Supervisors has partnered with Mondo.NYC for its 4th annual one day education seminar on Oct. 14, which will once again be held virtually.
The program track will feature some of the top music supervisors in the field today, along with their creative partners and collaborators, who will present case studies and break downs of projects they’ve worked on.
Programming for the sessions was headed by Gms co-founder Jonathan McHugh, who says: “Our NYC steering committee has done another excellent job on crafting a great day of programming. It’s a mixed blessing that our one day event is virtual again this year. The good news is that now people from all over the world can attend and learn from some great Gms music supervisors/producers and some of the creative partners and brands that they collaborate with.”

Oscar balloting for the final five nominees in the song and score categories begins March 5. But none of the music supervisors that worked on those movies will get to vote. That’s because the Academy music branch, which chooses the nominees, bars music supervisors — the people who advise and collaborate with filmmakers on songs and other musical matters — from membership.
It’s been a longstanding rule for the branch, which consists of approximately 375 composers, songwriters and music editors. Their argument has always been that membership is limited to those who actually create the musical material that goes into a movie.
“The sense that we don’t contribute creatively to telling stories with music is not an argument that holds water,” says Joel C. High, president of the 500-member Guild of Music Supervisors. “We want to be sitting at the table with our music peers.”
This issue has rankled the music-supervision community for years.

Tyler Perry is Variety‘s 2020 Showman of the Year. For the full cover story, click here.
Music supervisor Joel C. High distinctly remembers meeting Tyler Perry for the first time in 2004 on “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.” “It changed my life,” says High of what was the beginning of a beautiful filmmaker-music supervisor partnership that continues to this day.
The secret to their harmony is simple. As Perry divulges, he doesn’t “change partners once at the dance.” Says Variety’s Showman of the Year: “[Joel] gets the exact tone and feel of what I was thinking.”
High, who now serves as president of the Guild of Music Supervisors, was head of music at Lionsgate overseeing film and television when Michael Paseornek, the studio’s then president of production, brought Perry to High’s attention. On deck was Perry’s first movie, based on one of his stage plays.

There’s nothing like validation from your peers, especially in Hollywood, but seeing your name emblazoned in a front-end credit on TV is something music supervisors have found elusive — even when the show centers around, or is chock full of, music.
”I worked on a very music-intensive show and asked for a front-end credit because the show was based around music and dance,” says Jen Malone, who this year won a Guild of Music Supervisors (Gms) Award for her work on “Euphoria” (the HBO series shows a title card in lieu of main credits). “The studio said the Directors Guild of America will not allow it because they consider a music supervisor to be a technical credit. Even the TV Academy now recognizes our work with an Emmy category so I’d hope that the DGA reevaluates their stance.”
Guild president Joel C. High puts the big picture into perspective vis-à-vis the small screen.

In the ten years since the Guild of Music Supervisors was formed, the organization has come a long way. Granted, the job still involves low pay, long hours and little respect, but at least the craft has been validated with Grammy and Emmy categories introduced by the Recording Academy and the Television Academy, respectively. The Gms has its own presence during awards season, as it hosts its own annual awards ceremony on Feb. 6 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. (Quite the upgrade for an event that initially consisted of brunch and four trophies held on Grammy morning.)

Country songs sure can tell stories. Now TV production company Granada America wants to make some of those stories into a series of one-hour TV dramas.
The film-producing duo of Mark Roberts and Lorena David ("Strangers With Candy," "Extreme Dating") pitched the project to Granada and will executive produce it with veteran music supervisor Joel C. High of Creative Control Entertainment. Dubbed "American Storytellers," the series will have access to least seven songs from Sony/Atv Music Publishing as well as works by other publishers to be named.
"We have worked with them for upwards of two years to find the right songs for the project," Sony/Atv Nashville president Troy Tomlinson said. "The music was to be the driving force behind the series."
The music publisher boasts a formidable country catalog that includes classics by Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Roger Miller as well as recent hits by Taylor Swift,...
