My client is producing a documentary film. He wants to include six popular songs. He wants to use the original recordings. I have been tasked with obtaining master use and synchronization licenses for these in the film. Is there a way to expedite this? I have a preliminary idea of who controls each composition and recording. Looking for recommendations on the most efficient way to get the necessary permissions.
