The 2nd Annual CINE Film Scoring Competition

My entry for the 2nd Annual CINE Film Scoring Competition for Emerging Composers was achieved the Top 30 with remarks from the three judges Mychael Danna (Life of Pi film composer), George S. Clinton (Chair of Berklee College of Music’s Film Scoring Department), and Daniel Carlin (Chair of Film Scoring at USC’s Thornton School of Music):

Original and poetic, full of emotion and pathos, not tied to the film but illustrating it. I felt envious that I would never write something like this, which I guess is the ultimate compliment. Congrats whoever you are, you got it right! “
