Musician & Band Alert

MUSICAL SCORE COMPOSER FOR REDWIND FILMS, NEW YORK

This is a horror movie. About 30 mins in length. It's about a boy named Simon whose parents are leaders of a cult that kills children. I'm a student in NYC, and I'm basically broke so I won't be able to spend more than 1-2 hundred on this. But the film will be screened at the Director's Guild of America in NYC and will be sent to many festivals. It's an entertaining movie, but will depend so heavily upon it's score. Payment is on a lo/no/deferred basis. Apply to: Brian Sizensky at Filmman85@aol.com. Shooting begins late February. Ends February 1.
