Project Involve is a competitive, merit-based opportunity that pairs select IU scoring students with emerging filmmakers from Film Independent’s acclaimed short film mentoring program. Each year, only 5–6 composers are chosen based on skill, professionalism, and artistic potential. 

Each selected composer is assigned to a specific film and is responsible for creating an original score — from developing initial concepts and themes, to spotting, scoring, revising, and ultimately delivering final music stems. The full process follows a timeline that mirrors professional industry standards and workflows.

This unique initiative bridges regional and industry talent, fostering artistic growth through cross-disciplinary collaboration between IU composers and LA filmmakers!

I am ecstatic to be working with the talented director, Sylvia Ray on this project! Stay up to date on this project on my socials!
