BMI Mentors Participants at Annual ‘Composing for the Screen’ Workshop

BMI’s Vice President of Film/TV Relations, Doreen Ringer-Ross, recently lent her expertise to one of six sessions during the annual “Composing for the Screen” film scoring mentorship program in New York City. Directed by renowned BMI composer Rick Baitz, the program provides the opportunity for nine emerging composers to participate in a high-level workshop where film music is examined from historical, psychological, dramatic and stylistic perspectives. The intensive six-week curriculum, which is followed by year-round continued consultation and development, began on Sept. 10 and will culminate on October 22. For each student’s final project, he or she will compose a cue to a well-known film, which will then be recorded by top-notch musicians in a New York studio.
