License the interview archive

Between 2003 and 2014 I interviewed more than 700 musicians, actors, filmmakers and athletes, first on The BackStage Pass and then on Matt Schichter Interviews. The footage and audio are available to license for documentaries, TV, film, podcasts and exhibitions. Licensing is handled by Reelin' In The Years Productions, the music footage archive.

What's here

682 guests, 473 with video and the rest as audio. Recorded backstage, on press days and at festivals, mostly in Canada and the US.

Typical uses

Music and film documentaries, biopics, anniversary and obituary pieces, broadcast packages, podcasts and museum exhibits.

How to license

Send the guest name and the clip or timecode to reelinintheyears.com. Each interview page has the full video or audio, and many have a transcript to help you find the moment.
