Payment plans available - contact edu@stage32.com

Your film score is one of your final and most vital hurdles. It sets the tone and the mood of your film. Maybe you already have pieces playing on repeat in your mind and know every epic, cinematic score that inspires your vision. Or, you may not have a clue what you need or where to even begin.

Knowing what you want for your score is the first step, and clearly communicating that vision is crucial to your success.

There's no one better to show you the ropes than a composer who's worked on over 40 films. Kristen Baum is a composer for film and concerts, who has collaborated on over 40 film scores and was a Sundance Fellow mentored by Alan Silvestri (Marvel Cinematic Universe, BACK TO THE FUTURE, FORREST GUMP) and Chris Young (HELLRAISER, PET SEMATARY). You'll know the process of creating a film score, including how to develop your concept with a composer, the steps of a spotting session, how to work and communicate when you can't be in the same room, how to choose a film composer, and more.

In an exclusive and interactive Stage 32 Next Level Class, Kristen will show you the steps of film scoring, from ideation through editing, and the many roles involved, including music editor, supervisor, and composer, so that your audience walks away humming that perfect crescendo. You'll also receive assignments to put what you learn into practice and get feedback from Kristen on your work, as well as making connections with your group that lasts beyond these four weeks.

In just four weeks, you'll know how to boost your film with your film score and how to communicate with your composter to achieve the best result. But hurry! These limited spots will fill up!
