New Music USA recently launched Reel Change: The Fund for Diversity in Film Scoring, powered by SESAC and composer Christophe Beck.
Responding to the fact that the vast majority of films are scored by white men, Reel Change is a five-year grants and mentorship program for composers of diverse backgrounds who have been marginalized in film composition.
This fund supports film projects currently in production, where additional funding and mentoring would help composers at a pivotal moment in their careers.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling timeline by an advisory board made up of leading composers of film music, including Christophe Beck, Jongnic “JB” Bontemps, Kris Bowers, Miriam Cutler, Chanda Dancy, Tony Morales, and Pinar Toprak. Members of this advisory board will offer additional support and mentorship for interested applicants.
