Composing Bootcamp also includes an all-expense-paid trip to a metro centre
so that the selected participants can shadow their mentor, meet composers and
immerse themselves in the screen composing industry.
Ken Crouch, CEO of
Screenworks said, “Thanks to
increased support from APRA AMCOS, this year we are able to extend this program
beyond NSW to include Victoria and Queensland, so that four emerging regional
composers from across 3 states will now be able to benefit from this
educational program and build their confidence and capacity in composing music
for screen content”
Michelle O’Donnell, Manager Film and TV at APRA AMCOS, explained, “APRA AMCOS is committed to nurturing the next generation of composers. We’re proud to support this valuable mentoring opportunity for regional screen composers, allowing them to connect with the industry and further their composing career”.
