| 2011-11-02 | In LA – NARIP Radio Executive Session #3: Jimmy Steal
Intimate Meetings & Pitch Sessions with Programming and Music Directors of LA’s Top-Rated Radio Stations Session #3 with Power 106-FM’s Jimmy Steal on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles
What do Julie Pilat, Jimmy Steal and Andrew Jeffries have in common? They program music for the most popular radio stations in Los Angeles and are all special guests at NARIP’s Radio Executive Sessions at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles. Come meet these three important taste-makers at NARIP’s intimate sessions, pitch music, receive feedback, and get an inside peek at how they do their jobs. You will learn:
On the heels of NARIP’s successful Music Supervisor Sessions – intimate meetings with the best music supervisors in the business today – NARIP is proud to introduce its Radio Executive Sessions in the same mold. Through NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions, NARIP members have made placements in significant projects, including most recently Peter Kimmel who has placed songs from his catalog in True Blood (“Soul of a Man Never Dies”) and in Dexter (“Jhaira”) following our session with Gary Calamar earlier this year in Los Angeles – read more about these exciting placements here. Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best (and busiest) radio executives at the top-rated stations in town. LIMITED ENROLLMENT OF ONLY 15 PEOPLE PER SESSION Limited to 15 people per session, NARIP’s sessions enable you to get to know the executives and more importantly, enable them to get to know you. Participants will be able to pitch music on the spot and receive instant feedback as to whether a song is appropriate or not, and WHY. This valuable feedback makes better pitches – and ultimately, radio air time – possible. Please note: NARIP cannot guarantee that any participants’ music will receive airtime. Above all, attendees get to meet key players in the modern radio business, paving the way for future opportunities and giving them an edge in a highly competitive market. At each NARIP Radio Executive Session in Los Angeles, participants will have the opportunity to pitch music and get immediate, direct feedback from one radio executive. Here is what attendees say about NARIP’s Music Supervisor Sessions (the same format as the upcoming Radio Executive Sessions) held earlier this year in Los Angeles:
$20 NARIP members (no pitch) $40 Non-members and general public (no pitch) To pitch music and receive live instant feedback from Julie Pilat, add Premium Ticket (limited to 15 individuals): $249: NARIP Members (Professional and Executive NARIP Members ONLY, includes pitch-and-feedback opportunity) $329: Non-Members (includes pitch-and-feedback opportunity) * Available to Professional and Executive NARIP Members only.

ABOUT THE RADIO EXECUTIVES  Julie Pilat, Assistant Program Director / Music Director at KIIS FM and Program Director at KYSR 98-7fm Session #1 on Wednesday, September 28, 2011 A young Julie Pilat, obsessed with Hip Hop, Pop AND Rock, started her radio career while still in junior high. A Seattle native, she began answering phones at KUBE in 1992, and by the time she hit high school, Julie had her own ON AIR shift at the local college radio stations KGRG and KNHC. As soon as she was able to drive herself to the station, she got her own air shift at KUBE as well. Julie’s college years took her to Arizona (ASU) where she continued to foster her radio career and passion for music at KPWR (Hip Hop) and KEDJ (Alternative Rock) in Phoenix, where she held down air shifts and worked in the programming departments. In 1998, she returned to Seattle and landed the midday air shift and the APD/MD job at KUBE. Four years later, Julie made the move to Los Angeles and was named the APD/MD at legendary Top 40 KIIS FM. The success of KIIS during her tenure there, coupled with an unbridled passion for manic genres made her the stand out choice to take over the helm at Clear Channel’s KYSR when the format switched to Alternative Rock in January of 2009. Today, Julie continues to hold both positions in the Clear Channel LA Radio Cluster (APD/MD at KIIS FM and PD at KYSR 98-7fm). In her “spare” time, Julie is a dedicated mentor and community leader. She donates time and resources to A Place Called Home in South Central and to the Youth Mentoring Connection. She is also passionate about discovering new music, mentoring new artists, and being creative with how radio can support the artist development process in the ever-changing music business.

| 2012-06-12 | In LA – NARIP Presents Film Makers Who Seek Music
 NARIP Presents Film Makers Who Seek Music on Tuesday, June 12, 2012 at SAE Institute of Technology in Los Angeles Placing music in film and TV is competitive, and any advantage is a plus. Give yourself the advantage of meeting directors face-to-face who need music (songs and score) for their film projects. NARIP has long been a proponent of “meet the talent early” – whether artistic or executive talent – to get in at the ground floor. An excellent example of this is film maker Steven Spielberg and composer / conductor / pianist John Williams. Between the two of them, Spielberg and Williams have won more awards than you can count. Williams has composed some of the most recognizable film scores in the history of motion pictures (Star Wars, Jaws, Superman, the Indiana Jones films, E.T. the Estra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List and the first three Harry Potter films), and has composed music for all but two of Spielberg’s major feature films. Their collaboration dates back to when they were both unknown and just starting out. They recognized each other’s talents earl, worked well together and voila! Together they have made and scored some of the biggest blockbusters in the world. These are the kinds of professional relationships NARIP seeks to enable with our programs and activities. So come get to know the buyers – the film makers themselves – and let them get to know you, your catalog and the artists you represent! At this program we will discuss what the film makers seek and how to market music to make it more attractive to them. Different deal types will also be discussed for licensing music in film. You will receive copies of important documents, learn how to close and “paper” these deals and keep music buyers coming back for more. Meet the buyers and get educated about the art of music placement in film! You will learn:
Don’t miss this insider’s peek at the music placement realities of the fastest-changing business in the world. Most importantly, this program gives you practical information you can apply immediately to work with music buyers and land placements NOW. THANK YOU Special thanks for her help with this program to Jessica Ramos at SAE Institute. All are welcome. You need not be a NARIP member to attend.

| 2014-11-19 | In LA – NARIP Music Supervisor Session -w- Trailer Park’s Bobby Gumm (Gravity, Frozen, Godzilla)
Intimate Meeting & Pitch Session With Trailer Park’s Bobby Gumm  on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Note this session starts at 7:30 p.m. DETAILS Bobby Gumm is our special guest at this NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Session in Los Angeles. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees face-time, registrants get brief of supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback. In NARIP’s intimate session, you get to meet and pitch them for current opportunities. Trailers – which represents a large part of Gumm’s client work – have skyrocketed in recent years as an important and lucrative vehicle for music licensing. Synch fees for music in trailers tend to be larger because the rights requested tend to be more broad (worldwide, in perpetuity, used in every possible media). Also, trailers are typically part of a film’s marketing budget rather than its music budget, with film marketing budgets almost always many times larger than music budgets. One senior music executive at Fox Studios says that the music budget for a film is rarely larger than 3% of its overall budget, if that. ABOUT BOBBY GUMM Bobby Gumm is a Vice President at Trailer Park, one of the largest and most prolific ad agencies in the world, where he oversees all things music. With almost a decade of music supervision experience Gumm has supervised hundreds of trailers/campaigns and has spoken internationally on the subject. Some of his more recent highlights include trailers for Interstellar, Horrible Bosses 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Big Hero 6, Inside Out, Gravity, Frozen, Godzilla, The Great Gatsby and Iron Man 3. Also, Bobby placed music from one NARIP session participant in a trailer for the Warner Bros. Film Grudge Match starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone. Come meet this career-maker. ALMOST 200 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works! NARIP Session Participants have placed almost 200 tracks as a direct result of NARIP Sessions, most recently in a nationwide Vodafone campaign. Read more here. DON’T GET LOST IN THE CROWD : SMALL IS THE NEW BIG NARIP Sessions are deliberately kept small, which is why they work so well and why participants have enjoyed almost 200 placements. Enrollment at this Session is limited to 16 people who wish to pitch. Pitch registrants get face-time with Rachel, a brief of our guest’s CURRENT music needs prior to the session to help them prepare, time to pitch plus immediate feedback from her. Meet and pitch Rachel for current opportunities. This event also includes general admission seating for those who wish to attend and observe, but not pitch.

| 2015-04-01 | In LA – NARIP Music Supervisor Session -w- Ant Farm’s Brian Murphy (Hunger Games, Wolf of Wall Street, Call of Duty)
Intimate Meeting & Pitch Session With Ant Farm’s Brian Murphy  on Wednesday, April 1, 2015 DETAILS Brian Murphy is our special guest at this NARIP Trailer Music Supervisor Session in Los Angeles. Limited enrollment of 16 people per session guarantees face-time, registrants get brief of supervisor’s CURRENT music needs, a chance to pitch plus immediate feedback. In NARIP’s intimate session, you get to meet and pitch them for current opportunities. Trailers have skyrocketed in recent years as an important and lucrative vehicle for music licensing. Synch fees for music in trailers tend to be larger because the rights requested tend to be more broad (worldwide, in perpetuity, used in every possible media). Also, trailers are typically part of a film’s marketing budget rather than its music budget, with film marketing budgets almost always many times larger than music budgets. One senior music executive at Fox Studios says that the music budget for a film is rarely larger than 3% of its overall budget, if that. ABOUT BRIAN MURPHY Brian Murphy is a music supervisor at Ant Farm, one of the industry’s foremost film and theatrical marketing agencies, where he spends his days (and some nights) selecting music for some of the industry’s biggest blockbusters and global marketing campaigns as well as for independent projects. After graduating from Manhattan College he moved west to work at Mojo LLC, a successful trailer house, where he assisted and learned from two well respected music supervisors on major theatrical campaigns such as Harry Potter, Crazy Stupid Love, SuckerPunch, Green Lantern and Hunger Games among others. He moved to Ant Farm where he now works on campaigns for theatrical, TV promotional spots and video games. Recent campaigns include Transformers, American Hustle, Wolf of Wall Street, Taken 3, The Gambler, Anchorman, Edge Of Tomorrow & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Recent video game campaigns include Far Cry 4, Assassin’s Creed, Call Of Duty and Watch Dogs. He enjoys placing major and indie artists in projects like Laggies, Star Trek Into the Darkness, Serena, Davinci’s Demons, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Call Of Duty: Ghosts. In his off hours he enjoys drawing, hanging out with friends and going to the movies. Come meet this career-maker. OVER 200 PLACEMENTS FROM NARIP MUSIC SUPERVISOR SESSIONS Our small format works!

Intimate Meetings & Pitch Sessions With Top Music Supervisors Session #5 with Andrea von Foerster on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at SAE Institute of Technology in Los Angeles
What do P.J. Bloom, Carolyn Richardson, Gary Calamar, Julianne Jordan, Andrea von Foerster and John Houlihan have in common? They are all special guests at NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions launching April 7, 2011 at SAE Institute in Hollywood, CA. Representing the best and brightest in music supervision, these six seasoned executives select and place music in blockbuster films and hit television shows, and in NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet and pitch them for current opportunities. Placement is the new radio. Come meet these career-makers. BACKGROUND NARIP President Tess Taylor is regularly retained by a private European music organization to secure meetings with top music supervisors in Los Angeles for its members. Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who represent catalogues and/or seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best (and busiest) music supervisors in town. Limited to 15 people, NARIP’s sessions enable you to get to know the supervisors and more importantly, enable music supervisors to get to know you. At private sessions in 2010, Alicen Schneider needed a theme song for a game show (Minute To Win It) and Gary Calamar needed a title song for an MTV series. At another session, Carolyn Richardson needed a theme song for a television project. Participants were able to pitch for these opportunities on the spot, receiving instant feedback as to whether a song was appropriate or not, and WHY. This valuable feedback makes better pitches – and ultimately, placements – possible. In some cases, participants even had time to re-work their music to better fit the supervisors’ needs. Above all, attendees MET key players in the modern music business, paving the way for future opportunities and giving them an edge in a highly competitive market. At each session, participants will have the opportunity to pitch music for specific opportunities and get immediate feedback from one music supervisor.

Julianne JordanJulianne Jordan started her music supervision career with a bang when director Doug Liman brought her to a little independent movie called Swingers. The film ignited the “swing” craze in the 90s, spawned a new type of vernacular, and pushed the interest in retro swing music into hyper drive. The soundtrack went gold and Julianne has not stopped working since. Julianne has enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with Doug Liman on all of the films he directed, including Go, The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and most recently Fair Game. Julianne has also supervised such hit films as The Italian Job, Valentine’s Day, Red and Yogi Bear. Julianne’s latest movie is the CGI animated Hop for Universal. She is currently at work on her second Garry Marshall collaboration, New Year’s Eve. In 2007, Julianne supervised the blockbuster family film Alvin and the Chipmunks, where she lent her expertise in helping create an entirely new soundtrack with songs featuring that world-recognized chipmunk sound. Alvin and the Chipmunks is a certified platinum soundtrack. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, which she also supervised, is well on its way to platinum status as well. Julianne is currently serving on the board of governors of the NARAS LA Chapter. She also had the distinction of winning the first Music Supervisor of The Year Award given by the Guild of Music Supervisors in 2011. No stranger to performing, Julianne is an accomplished violist who studied her craft at Skidmore College. SOURCES FOR MORE INFO Julianne Jordan NARIP Get connected. Stay connected.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER Gary Calamar, Go Music Services Gary Calamar, president of Go Music, is a Grammy-nominated producer and music supervisor for his work on HBO’s “Six Feet Under.” He is currently overseeing the music on some of the most acclaimed and popular shows on television: “True Blood” (HBO), “House” (Fox), and “Dexter” (Showtime). Gary has also chosen the songs for the films “Varsity Blues,” for which he received a gold record, “Slums Of Beverly Hills” and the forthcoming release “I Love You Philip Morris”. Gary hosts a hit radio show every Sunday night on public radio powerhouse KCRW in Santa Monica. Gary’s unique brand of “adventurous pop music both timely and timeless” has been a favorite of listeners for over a decade. Gary’s book, Record Store Days (with Phil Gallo) about the rise and fall of The Record Store will be released on Record Store Day, April 2010 from Sterling Publishing. The first light young Mr. Calamar saw was on a Westinghouse Capri TV set. He was vaccinated with a phonograph needle. Born in the shadows of Yankee Stadium in the Bronx NY, Gary first found his passions lit when his parents took him to see “West Side Story”. By the time “A Hard Days Night” and “Goldfinger” came out he was hooked on the explosive combination of Movies and Music. He traveled west in the early 80’s landing in Los Angeles. In need of a job that would ensure him a steady flow of promotional records and free concert tickets, Gary stepped behind a cash register and worked retail. He was managing a Licorice Pizza Record store as 12 inch vinyl records turned into 5 inch digital discs and later moved on to Rhino Records mixing with the customers and building up his music collection. In the mid 90’s Gary started as a volunteer at National Public Radio’s influential powerhouse KCRW. After (literally) getting down on his knees and begging music director Chris Douridas for a radio show he was given a shot. Gary’s unique brand of “adventurous pop music both timely and timeless” proved to be a hit. His show “The Open Road” currently airs Sunday nights from 9-Midnight. Through the years Gary has hosted live performances and interviews with musical greats ranging from Brian Wilson and Elmer Bernstein to Wilco, Lucinda Williams, and The Flaming Lips. In 1998 Gary broke into the Music Supervision game and tackled the movie “Varsity Blues”, resulting in a #1 box office hit and a soundtrack album certified gold. At the turn of the century Gary, along with friend and fellow music supervisor Thomas Golubic´ oversaw the music for the HBO original series “Six Feet Under” and were nominated for Grammy Awards for producing both volumes of the ‘Six Feet Under’ soundtracks. He lives in a lovely home in Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon with his lovely wife and their amazing daughter. SOURCES FOR MORE INFO Gary Calmar NARIP Get connected. Stay connected.

| 2011-04-21 | In LA – NARIP Music Supervisor Session #2: Carolyn Richardson
Intimate Meetings & Pitch Sessions With Top Music Supervisors Session #2 with Carolyn Richardson on Thursday, April 21, 2011 at SAE Institute of Technology in Los Angeles
What do P.J. Bloom, Carolyn Richardson, Gary Calamar, Julianne Jordan, Andrea von Foerster and John Houlihan have in common? They are all special guests at NARIP Music Supervisor Sessions launching April 7, 2011 at SAE Institute in Hollywood, CA. Representing the best and brightest in music supervision, these six seasoned executives select and place music in blockbuster films and hit television shows, and in NARIP’s intimate sessions, you get to meet and pitch them for current opportunities. Placement is the new radio. Come meet these career-makers. BACKGROUND NARIP President Tess Taylor is regularly retained by a private European music organization to secure meetings with top music supervisors in Los Angeles for its members. Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who represent catalogues and/or seek intimate pitch opportunities with the best (and busiest) music supervisors in town. Limited to 15 people, NARIP’s sessions enable you to get to know the supervisors and more importantly, enable music supervisors to get to know you. At private sessions in 2010, Alicen Schneider needed a theme song for a game show (Minute To Win It) and Gary Calamar needed a title song for an MTV series. At another session, Carolyn Richardson needed a theme song for a television project. Participants were able to pitch for these opportunities on the spot, receiving instant feedback as to whether a song was appropriate or not, and WHY. This valuable feedback makes better pitches – and ultimately, placements – possible. In some cases, participants even had time to re-work their music to better fit the supervisors’ needs. Above all, attendees MET key players in the modern music business, paving the way for future opportunities and giving them an edge in a highly competitive market. At each session, participants will have the opportunity to pitch music for specific opportunities and get immediate feedback from one music supervisor. PER-SESSION COST $249 NARIP Members (Professional and Executive NARIP Members ONLY*) $329 Non-Members REGISTER FOR ALL SIX SESSIONS $1,329 for NARIP Members (save $165 – Professional and Executive NARIP Members ONLY*) $1,819 for Non-Members (save $155) * Available to Professional and Executive NARIP Members only.
