Composer — 'Hollow Point'

Steffanie Bradley, writer/director (Mandy.com) · US$500–US$800 flat · On location · Neo-noir short (10-page script) · Closes November 17

Applications close 17 November 2026. Featured in #020 on 19 October 2026.

A ten-page neo-noir, Southern Gothic short that doubles as a proof of concept, aimed at festival submissions in 2027: an ex-assassin turned desert preacher is dragged back into a violent underworld after the cartel murders his estranged son. The music brief is for the main location, a neon upscale club, where the film needs score that gives a sense of club music without overpowering dialogue; dark synthwave and classical are the styles named. The writer-director is background-checked but has posted no previous jobs on Mandy, and the contract note says the rate is flexible by crew position, so the US$500–US$800 may move.
