Hello,
Right now I make my films for a purely personal reason. I just love making them and watching them, so I just use songs from other movies soundtracks etc. However as I am getting more and more into making movies I am wondering if I decide to enter a film into a competition or festival etc, do I need to use original music or can I use royalty free music? I guess what I'm asking is, is a film festival or competition considered commercial because you can win money? You're not really selling it....anyway any help is appreciated.
