This role is ideal for a talented music composer with strong string performance skills, seeking to create an emotionally resonant score for an independent film. The project centers on composing 10–15 minutes of original music, primarily featuring live string instruments such as violin, viola, cello, or double bass. The score will underscore pivotal scenes between an anti-hero and a child, requiring a nuanced approach that balances tenderness, warmth, and subtlety. The music should enhance the film's emotional arc without overwhelming the narrative, maintaining an intimate and organic sound. Collaboration will be fully remote, with access to reference scenes, timings, and spotting notes to ensure the score aligns with the locked cut. Professionalism, clear communication, and a collaborative spirit are essential for this self-funded production.
