URGENT - Romantic Comedy Short Film "Backflip" Requires Composer
"Backflip" is a 10min romantic comedy that was completed in mid-December 2005 as a graduating
film of Metro Screen's Cert IV in Screen. We are a few days away from completing the picture edit
of the "Director's Cut" and due to scheduling conflicts, we are urgently seeking a talented
composer to score it for a late-March deadline. The original cut of "Backflip" is currently being screened on TVS community TV (Sydney), with an agreement in place to update that to the new
version when it's delivered. Much interest has been expressed in the upcoming cut from various
sources and it will be widely screened. This is a highly unique opportunity for the right person.
If interested, please contact writer/director Adam Montgomery via email at "lovegun@optusnet.com.au". You will be sent a script as well as an extensive brief to get you
up to speed on what stage the project is in and what we're looking for in the score. From there
you can be sent a DVD of the film to get you underway.
This is an unpaid gig, but owning to the tight deadline, a small fee is on offer as a token of gratitude.
