Films don’t just happen over night, and the good ones are worth taking the time to make them right. #filmmaking Congratulations to my dear friend @michelledhatt on shooting #BraveRebelArmy!! 🎬💕🎉
I’ve been developing these characters and trilogy for 8 years. I wrote the script 5 years ago. And started pursuing funding 3 years ago. And now, after 6 months in intense prep and an incredible shoot with an outstanding crew 2 weeks ago, here they are… Brave Rebel Army 🖤

This is me every time someone asks me for a playlist demo of “comedy music”. 🤦♀️ It’s the situation that makes something funny - it’s not because the music is funny. *sigh* #filmscoring #composer
You can’t judge a film score without the context of the medium it’s meant to serve. With games you also lose the interactive immersive element. It’s not music written for music’s sake. Divorcing it from its intended medium deprives it of a lot of its function and meaning.

Thanks @jaimewoo for sharing why #awards like #Oscar2023 matter… Also, when people are included at the table it affects who is perceived to be an asset for casting and film funding. It’s power.
