- 50% down to start.
- 1/3rd of the composer's fee is due halfway through the scoring schedule. (i.e. 7th or 8th week)

My composing rate is $600 -$1000 per minute for a standard music score of a 60 - 120-minute+ film, or $50K base.
Composition and score mock-up only.
(Add $30K - $50K for Live orchestra, studio time, and mixing. Or $25K for Digital Score using a top-tier sampled orchestral library with a small orchestra and professional mixing.)
I require no less than 3 - 4 months to complete the score. More time may be warranted depending on the final edit of the film.
Independent Films - $2MM - $9.99MM
Q: How Do I Get A Great Score?
A: Bring the composer in early, if possible.
Note: Once you know we will work together, it costs you nothing to bring me on early in the project to understand your vision. In this way, the score has more cohesion to the film. The more we communicate, the more I understand your desire for the film.
