Let’s Talk About Your Film’s Score

Free

Tell me about your project and walk away with a clear idea of what music can do for it, and how we get there.

In this 30-minute 1:1 Project Discovery Call, you will:

✅ Get clear on what the score needs to do: We’ll talk through what you want your audience to feel, so the music has a purpose instead of just filling space.

✅ Find the right scope for your budget: Whether that’s scoring the whole film or the two or three scenes where music hits hardest, we’ll find what works for your project.

✅ See how I work: No jargon, no ego. We talk about story and emotion, not DAWs and sample libraries.

✅ Know your next step: You’ll leave knowing exactly what happens next, whether or not we end up working together.

How It Works:

You tell me about your film

Share the story, the genre, and where you are in production.

We talk about what the music should do

We’ll cover the emotional beats, tone, and any references or temp music you have.

We look at scope, timeline, and budget

Honest numbers up front, so there are no surprises later.

You get a clear next step

If we’re a fit, we’ll outline how to move forward. If not, you’ll still leave with a better plan for your score.

What’s Included:

🎬 30-minute private video call

Who This Is For:

Directors, producers, and filmmakers at any stage (script, in production, rough cut, or locked picture) who want a custom score and would like to talk it through first. Narrative, documentary, shorts, or features all work.

Frequently Asked Questions:

❓ Do I need a finished film?

✅ No. A script, a rough cut, or even just a strong idea is enough to start.

❓ Do I need to know anything about music?

✅ Not at all. Tell me how a scene should feel and I’ll handle the rest.

❓ Is this a sales call?

✅ It’s a conversation about your film. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.

❓ What if my budget is small?

✅ Every project has a budget and a scope, and I work with both. Even one well-placed custom cue can set a film apart.

❓ Should I prepare anything?

✅ Optional, but it helps: a link to your rough cut or key scenes, any temp music or reference tracks, and a rough timeline and budget range.
