You don’t usually see Guernica at the Reina Sophia and tell someone, “I don’t really remember what it was about…” Whether or not you liked it, you couldn’t ignore that it did something to you. Good art makes it’s initial impression, and then it doesn’t just exit your headspace immediately. It forces you to swirl it around in your brain for awhile.

Film, in this sense, can be hit or miss. Not only because there are a lot of objectively bad movies out these days, but also because there’s simply an overabundance of film. It requires the perfect recipe to take it from “It didn’t really stick with me” to “That movie is unreal, I could watch it 1,000 times.”

Soundtracks are often a moviemaker’s most powerful weapon. Plots can be forgettable, performances can age, but tell me you aren’t brought right back to your first time experiencing the film when you hear this, or this, or this, or THIS!

My dear pal Jordan has created an amazing website where you (whether you’re a USC film student or a super stud in hollywood) submit a clip that you want to have scored. You describe what you’re looking for and any requirements you have, and bam! A selection of professional composers (including emmy and grammy award winners/nominees) each submit their scores, auditioning for you! You then get to choose which you like best, begin a relationship with the composer, and move on from there, feeling empowered by their vying for your attention and confident that you’ve acquired the perfect soundtrack to your masterpiece. 

EPIC RIGHT?! This kid got his shit together and made the website happen, now you get your shit together and make a film that will change people. scoreascore.com. Go there, and create your Guernica, you talented little minx.
