The Hunt for a Composer

So at this point, I'm trying to find someone to provide the musical presence of the film. The strength of the "Kill Booth Theme" is something that I want to keep throughout the movie, so finding someone who can provide an excellent score to match it is going to be difficult. I contacted a guy named Rob Grimaldi, who I had previously met during my Audio Workshop class. He responded back by saying that film scoring is exactly what he was looking to do for his future career and that "Kill Booth" sounded like an awesome project. Unfortunately, he's in LA this semester and therefore won't be able to work on the movie. Not easily, anyway. There's still the prospect that I could send him files over the Internet to work on, but I doubt that's the route I'll end up going. It's a bummer though, because I know he's someone who could probably pull off the proper epic/western style music I'll be looking for. Anyway, the search continues!

Crew Information - A Small Update

Not much of an update here, but since I haven't done one in awhile, I guess anything is good. With "KILL BOOTH" in full pre-production and actual production not too far around the corner, I figured I'd list out some of the crew members that I know *for a fact* will be contributing to the project. They are:

Writer/Director/Editor: Nathan Morse
Director of Photography: Mike Sutter
Executive Producers: AJ Pinkerton, Peter Johanns
Title Theme: AJ Pinkerton, Peter Srinivasan, Lora Rivera

I think that's about it for now. A few positions I'm currently looking into filling are Music (the film's soundtrack composer), Sound Mixing/Editing (both on set and in post-prod), and Producer. To a certain extent I'll be producing the film myself, but I've yet to decide if we need a full-time Producer whose only job is to do just that. More updates to come as time passes.
