Tell us about the production and the studio will reply with a plan, a schedule and an honest view of what the music needs. The more you can share about the cut and the deadline, the more precise our first answer will be.
Other ways to reach the studio
Email the production office directly at [email protected], or write to 88 Harborline Avenue, Suite 412, Boston, MA 02110. The phone line for the front desk is (617) 555-0138 and is answered on Eastern Time during working hours.
What happens after you send a brief
The studio reads every brief in order of arrival. For a feature or series enquiry we usually reply with a short call request, because the quickest way to understand a score is to watch the footage together. For a single song, a cue set or a licence query, a written answer often carries the whole conversation.
If you have a temp track already sitting under the cut, mention it. It tells us what the editor has been living with, and it helps us write something that fits the same pocket without imitating it. If the production is already at the mix, tell us the dub stage date and we will work to it.
Nothing you send is passed on, and nothing you send commits you to a commission. See the privacy policy for how the studio handles the details you share.
What helps us answer quickly
The briefs that get the fastest, most useful reply share a few things. They name the format and the length, because a twelve-minute short and a six-part series carry very different music. They describe the tone in plain language: a family drama that should feel close and warm, a thriller that should feel cold and mechanical. They say whether the music is a full score, a single song or a licence, because those are three different conversations.
It helps to mention any temp music already sitting under the cut. A temp tells us what the editor has been living with and gives us a shared point of reference, even when the answer is to go somewhere else entirely. It also helps to name the delivery formats the broadcaster, distributor or dub stage expects, so the studio knows what has to be prepared on the way out.
How the first reply reads
We answer in the order briefs arrive, and the first reply is honest about scope. It says whether we can take the work, roughly how long it would run, and what the studio would need next. If a project is better served by a licence than a commission, we say so, and if a deadline is unrealistic we say that too. A studio that agrees to everything is a studio that will disappoint someone.
Nothing you send commits you to anything. The brief is the start of a conversation, and the conversation carries no obligation until both sides agree in writing. You can also reach the production office directly at [email protected] or by post to 88 Harborline Avenue, Suite 412, Boston, MA 02110.
Confidentiality before a commission
A brief often contains material a production is not ready to share widely: an unfinished cut, an unreleased title, a story turn that has not been announced. The studio treats an enquiry as confidential from the first message. Nothing you send is discussed outside the team, nothing is reused in another project, and nothing is published as a sample of the studio's work without a separate agreement.
If an enquiry does not become a commission, the correspondence is simply closed. There is no follow-up campaign and no reuse of your details, which is also why the studio asks for so little at the first step.
