As a provider of educational opportunities
for students, The Pacific Northwest Film Scoring
Program does not offer services for professional
productions, filmmakers or composers. Student musicians
who perform on the scores do so for the educational
experience of working in a recording studio environment.
STUDENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Many program
graduates begin to work in the film scoring arena immediately
after completing their training program...and a few do so
while still undergoing training.
Our program graduates have provided the scores for
documentaries, computer games, commercials and public service
announcements, radio spots, marketing campaigns, and feature
length films.
The Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program is proud to report
the film scoring accomplishments of the program participants
highlighted below.
Current and former students with credits and accomplishments
to post, use the submission form at the bottom of this page.
Your credits will be added to this page after they have been
reviewed and approved.
