Whoever makes the shortlist is paid to score a short scene before the final choice, and the director says plainly they are not asking anybody to work for free. The film is a picture-locked biographical documentary of about 90 minutes on an engineer and inventor, with music under most of it; the director is thinking piano, guitar and some strings, would rather build it from a handful of themes developed across the film than 90 minutes of separate cues, and has a temp score to share. $8,000 is all in, including any players you bring, against a spotting session in late October, a main draft on 12 December and final stems on 5 January, and the bar is at least one completed feature or a good handful of finished shorts.
