ANNOUNCING THE FILM COMPOSER DOCUMENTARY, CHASING NOTES... I am extremely proud to formally announce the documentary I am producing, CHASING NOTES. Working with an extremely talented team from Los Angeles, we've set out to capture the world of film composing in a first of-its-kind documentary. We will have interviews with many of today's established A-List talents sharing their personal stories while also spotlighting the trials and tribulations of an emerging composer who is looking to make it in the business.
SCORENOTES FANS -- WE NEED YOUR HELP...
This is an independently financed production made with the love of the craft in mind. Passion can only get us so far, however. Any monetary support that you fans can offer via our Kickstarter campaign would be a big boost to our efforts of making this the best possible film we can. Every contribution will go directly toward the production and you will receive great incentive options for your generosity.
Spread the word! Have fun. And let's finally give our composers the spotlight they truly deserve. Thank you!!
