THE ROBIN FILM GRANT One selected project will receive a $1,000 cash award to help cover real music licensing fees paid to labels, publishers, and artists.
Applications open April 1, 2026
Deadline May 15, 2026
Helping filmmakers discover real music earlier in the creative process
Finding the right music for a film often happens late, under time pressure, and with limited options.
Robin was built to change that.
Robin helps filmmakers, editors, and supervisors search real songs from major and independent labels, publishers, and artists using scene descriptions, sonic similarity, lyrics, and creative prompts.
It is not a stock music library, and it does not generate music. Robin helps filmmakers discover licensable commercial music that already exists — from real artists, labels, and publishers — so scenes land with the right emotional impact.
As part of the application, filmmakers build a shortlist of tracks that could work in their film.
One selected project will receive a $1,000 cash award to help cover the licensing cost of music discovered through Robin.
Catalogs on the platform include
Disney Music Group, Spirit Music Group, Sub Pop, XL Recordings, and others.
Step 1. Submit your project ~5 minutes
Tell us a few details about your film including the title, production stage, and a short description.
Step 2. Discover music with Robin ~30-60 minutes
Sign in to MusicAtlas to use Robin and save tracks that could work for your film.
To complete the application you must save at least 20 tracks while exploring music for your project.
Step 3. Finalize and submit your application ~5 minutes
Once you’ve discovered music in Robin, briefly describe how you plan to use music in your film — scenes, tone, or overall musical direction. Then submit the completed application.
The selected project will receive:
$1,000 toward music licensing
This is a $1,000 cash award intended to help cover third-party music licensing fees for songs discovered using Robin. It is not a credit for MusicAtlas services — it is funding applied toward the real licensing cost paid to the relevant label, publisher, or rights holder.

Music discovery for film is still surprisingly difficult.
Filmmakers often rely on temp tracks, personal playlists, or manual searches across multiple platforms. Great music goes undiscovered simply because finding licensable songs from real artists, labels, and publishers is difficult.
MusicAtlas is building the search infrastructure that makes real music easier to discover for creative work.
The Robin Film Grant is an invitation to filmmakers to see what becomes possible when music discovery is solved with global search infrastructure.
About RobinRobin helps filmmakers find real, licensable music for their scenes faster. Search songs from major and independent labels, publishers, and artists using scene descriptions, sonic similarity, and lyrics.
