Welcome to Studentfilms.com, the online film discussion forum for filmmakers and students who are applying to film school, attending film school, need advice on making films, or just want to share their films with the world.
Hello Composers! First off, let me just say that there is a lot of talent on this forum... Which is why I think I can find the right composer for this project here! The film is a futuristic World War II short, set in a world where the war didn't end in 1945. The mood is dark and emotional, and the style is somewhere between Spielberg, Lynch, and Del Toro, if that makes any sense! My website is www.metrocityfilms.com ...Click on the photos tab, then click the "New Untitled Film" tab. There you will find pre-renders and test shots. Principle photography starts in 2 weeks. The style of music should be moody, orchestral, dramatic, epic, and of course charming in it's own right. I'd like to keep the base of the film orchestral, but I do support the use of electronic elements for texture and so forth, and perhaps some operatic qualities. Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, and John Williams would be people I would consider for this film if I had a real budget! But, I think this could be a great way for an undiscovered director and an undiscovered composer to get moving up the food chain together. You will make exactly what I make... Money = 0. Prestige and Exposure = TONS! I'm going to spam the Film Festival circuit with this film, in some very prestigious festivals. Please send me links to your work... I don't really care about your resume, I just want to hear what you're capable of. Looking forward to hearing from you! Cheers, William

Hello there. Here are some samples of my work. I'm not looking for payment, just a good film to write to. From the photos that you have shown, I would really be interested in working on this project, pending further details.
Here is a link to my introduction on these forums, which has links to some of my work.
Hello there. My name is Adam Brown and I am a young, enthusiastic and professional film composer, who has gained several commissions in the past few months for films. I have been working on several scores for independent film companies, as well as moving towards video game scoring as well. I love what I do, and want to grasp as many opportunities as possible. I have a new website which has all of my repertoire online, including a few film score/trailer extracts (www.adambrown.co.nr). I create a unique blend of electronic and orchestral instruments, sometimes mixed with percussion. I take great pride in what I do, and would love the opportunity to work with your company. I have completed an Undergraduate BA HONS Music, Technology and Innovation degree, at De Montfort University, Leicester; as well has studying at the Royal Academy of Music for several years, as well as gaining a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in 2006.
If you have any vacancies or opportunities, I would love to hear; as I am always eager to start new projects, and gain more experience in the industry. Look forward to hearing from you,
Hi William, I am just coming to the end of a HND in Music Production and looking to work on projects like this, all my film composition assignments have been finished so i will send you a link to my youtube page where 2/3 of my work has been uploaded. Hope you like, Thanks James
Great submissions so far... There's a lot of talent here! I may have found the composer for this project already, just have to work out some details... But, there's another project in the works soon, so I'm still looking! It'll be a steampunk adventure, just keep that in mind. Keep up the great work everyone!

Hey, This reply is really late but i don't really care to much. My name is Todd Smith. I write music but never had much work in film. The video below is at my facebook page as i can't be bothered to move it somewhere else. Hope you like it :P. Todd Smith
Clearly this post is late in response to your original idea, but perhaps you are working on another film? I am a music student pursuing a career in film and game composition and have already enjoyed numerous experiences working with film directors and producers. Check out my website and see if my sound is what you desire:
Hey, I checked out your site, looks very pro!! I am very interested in writing for you, and it would be nice to work for something so well put together. Here are several drafts I have been working on for the last month for other film makers, contact me if you like them!
