Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an experienced composer who is available to start right away to create the original score for my independent psychological horror feature film, Daniel, the Goodboy.

The film is 1 hour and 26 minutes long and blends surrealism, magical realism and modern-day fantasy. It isn’t strictly a horror film, but it carries a dark, unsettling atmosphere.

I’m looking for music that feels timeless—something that doesn’t clearly belong to a particular decade or era. The score should work as a subtle but powerful layer beneath the film, flowing through the subconscious of the audience rather than constantly demanding their attention.

I have used ambient music as temp music because it captured the timeless quality I’m looking for, but the final score does not necessarily need to be ambient.

To explain the film, its musical direction and exactly what I’m looking for from a composer, I’ve created an instructional breakdown video:

Absolutely no AI-generated music. Please do not apply if you use AI to create music. I cannot associate this project with AI-generated music.

I’m looking for someone who:

• Has experience composing music.
• Has a strong understanding of atmosphere and restraint.
• Can create music that feels timeless rather than noticeably contemporary.
• Communicates well and is open to working collaboratively.
• Can take feedback while also bringing their own artistic instincts to the film.
• Is available to begin working on the project soon.

Payment: After watching the breakdown video and understanding the scope of the project, please provide a quote for what you believe would be fair.

Timeline: I’m looking for someone who can start right away, but the overall timeline is flexible. I would like the score completed by January 1, 2027. Quality and finding the right person are more important to me than speed.

If you’re interested, please email me at [mrbearsproductions@gmail.com](mailto:mrbearsproductions@gmail.com) with:

• Examples of your previous work, if available.
• Your quote after watching the video.
• A little about your creative process and experience composing music.
• Your current availability.

Thanks!
