Who we are
Italy · United States · United Kingdom
Our Mission.
Our mission is to bring emerging and working screen composers into the same room. We create opportunities to learn directly from professionals working across film, television and games, while giving composers at different stages of their careers the space to exchange ideas, share experiences and build meaningful connections.
Each program is designed with our students in mind – from the people we invite to the way we structure each edition. We want participants to leave with new skills, a clearer understanding of the industry, and a community of people they can continue to grow with long after the program ends.
