Need Free Music for Your Film? Mobygratis Can Help

Are you a film student or an independent filmmaker struggling to find free music for your project? If so, Mobygratis might be exactly what you need. Music plays a big role in movies—it sets the tone, builds suspense, and helps the audience feel emotions. But getting the rights to use good music can be expensive and complicated.

That’s why the musician Moby started Mobygratis. He saw that independent filmmakers often don’t have the money to license music and wanted to help. So, he made a large collection of his music available for free to independent, non-profit filmmakers.

Why Moby Created Mobygratis

Making a movie costs a lot of money, and music is just one of those costs. Licensing a song for a big movie can cost between $15,000 and $60,000, which is way out of budget for most indie filmmakers. Moby understood this struggle and wanted to make a difference by offering his music for free.

How Mobygratis Works

On the Mobygratis website, you can find over 200 pieces of music from Moby’s catalog. He’s included songs from his past albums, unreleased tracks, and even adds new ones often. You can search for music, apply to use it, and download it instantly—all for free.
 

  1. The process is simple:
  2. Search the catalog.
  3. Choose a track you like.
  4. Click to download.
  5. Fill out a short application about your project.
  6. Get your music file and license right away—no waiting.

More Than Just Music

Mobygratis also supports another of Moby’s passions: animal rights. Moby is a long-time vegan and animal activist. If a filmmaker’s project makes money, any earnings from the music go directly to animal rights charities—Moby doesn’t keep any of it.

A Gift to the Creative Community

Mobygratis is a great resource for:
  • Independent filmmakers
  • Film students
  • Non-profit video makers
  • Any non-commercial video project

Moby’s goal is to support creativity and make it easier for filmmakers to bring their visions to life—without breaking the bank. Give it a try: Mobygratis.
