Published on Mar 25, 2015
http://www.ascap.com Join host John Debney as we take a step inside the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop with Richard Bellis, an internationally-respected incubator for emerging film composers. Each year, 12 handpicked participants get a month's worth of advice and insider's perspective from studio executives, agents, attorneys and music supervisors. The centerpiece of the Workshop: the opportunity to record their original composition with an "A list" of Hollywood professionals, including a 60-piece orchestra of LA's finest musicians on a major studio film scoring stage, a legendary scoring mixer, professional music editors, copyists and composers acting as coaches and mentors. If you're a serious composer working towards a career in film music, this is the Workshop for you.
