I write music for film. What do I need to do?

Written by Press Officer on .

To ensure you receive royalties promptly and accurately for music used in films, follow these steps:

Register your works with IMRO

  • Register each cue under its individual cue name.
  • Also register the full movie title.

This ensures the efficient and timely payment of royalties from public performances of the film.

Ensure cue sheets are submitted

  • The film’s producer should send cue sheets to IMRO.
  • Check that each cue sheet lists the correct cue names, durations, and other details.

Send documentation to IMRO

  • Send a copy of the cue sheet directly to IMRO yourself.
  • Include a completed works registration form for any new works.

For more details on registering music for film or works registration in general, please email distributions@imro.ie
