ADVANCING THE CAREERS OF TWO REGIONALLY-BASED, WOMAN IDENTIFIED OR NON-BINARY SCREEN COMPOSERS.
Screenworks’ Screen Composing Mentorship program provides the opportunity for two woman identified or non-binary regional composers to connect with an industry professional who will support them to develop their skills and showcase their talents.
Applications close 21 July, 9AM AEDT
Each of the selected participants will receive one-on-one mentoring from one of Australia’s most accomplished and respected screen composers, to help them to build confidence and capacity composing music for screen content. At the completion of the program, each participant will receive $3000 to aid them in advancing their screen composing careers.
Screenworks and APRA AMCOS acknowledge the need to address the gender imbalance within the Australian and New Zealand music industry. To help address the significant under-representation of women working as screen composers, we will be awarding both of the mentee opportunities to participants who identify as woman or non-binary.
This program is supported by the Australian Guild Of Screen Composers.
This is an outcome-focused mentoring program for two early to mid career screen composers, identifying as female and living in regional Australia. Antony Partos and Caitlin Yeo will assess the shortlist of applications and choose their mentee. The parties will then meet to discuss the needs and expectations around the mentorship.
Each of the two mentorship opportunities on offer will be tailored to the specific needs of each mentee. This could be;
a structured 6-week ‘Bootcamp’ program where the mentee is asked to submit a specific task for their mentors feedback on a weekly basis or;
The mentee seeking feedback on existing project/s from their mentor to enable them to overcome challenges
At the completion of the program, each participant will receive $3000 to aid them in advancing their screen composing careers. Both participants will be required to deliver a short report about the opportunities that the Screen Composing Mentorship has presented.
