Job Description
A unique opportunity is available for an experienced music composer to create an original score for a psychological romance drama short film, estimated at 19 minutes in length. The film explores the nuanced relationship between a meticulous movie star and a reserved fan, delving into themes of intimacy, power, and codependency. The tone is both beautiful and haunting, requiring a chamber orchestra style reminiscent of Jonny Greenwood’s 'Phantom Thread' and Nelson Riddle’s 'Lolita' (1962).
The project is fully remote, and creative input is encouraged to help shape the film’s emotional landscape. A rough cut and a mini-treatment outlining the film’s themes will be provided to support your creative process.
Deliverables
- Compose and produce an original score that aligns with the film’s psychological and romantic themes
- Deliver high-quality audio files suitable for film post-production
- Collaborate with the director to refine musical cues and motifs
- Incorporate references of intimate strings and piano, while contributing your own creative ideas
- Revise compositions based on feedback from the director
- Ensure timely delivery to meet post-production deadlines
Requirements
- Proven experience composing for film, particularly in drama or psychological genres
- Strong portfolio demonstrating ability to create evocative, chamber orchestra-inspired scores
- Proficiency with digital audio workstations and orchestration software
- Ability to interpret creative briefs and translate narrative themes into music
- Excellent communication skills and responsiveness to feedback
