PAN-EUROPEAN FILM MUSIC PROVIDER


Just Temptation
is a fast-growing pan-European film music company based in Berlin, which provides independent European producers and directors with original music funding, comprehensive support and a full range of film music services.

Film music triggers emotions and tells the story. It simply has the power to turn a good film into a masterpiece! A good soundtrack can also reinforce the film’s communication, generate a buzz effect and help the film achieve success!

Very often the cinema and music worlds are not properly connected though. Film producers feel discouraged by the complexity of music rights and film directors complain about the lack of budget for music in films, as they see music as a key component of the project much like the cast.

Just Temptation’s goal is to address this lack by providing the film producers and film directors with: 

  • financial means to optimize the music of their productions
  • music consulting and supervision to help them make the right artistic choices while adhering to the film’s music budget
  • direct access to some of Europe's most compelling Indie Music composers, cutting edge music catalogues and experienced music supervisors
  • soundtrack production, distribution and promotion
