Join to apply for the Music Composer – Film role at Twine.
A unique opportunity is available for a music composer to collaborate on a short film, a psychological drama centered on a private confrontation between a musician and his manager or partner. The film is dialogue‑driven, focusing on subtle tension, silence, and the nuanced inner emotions of its characters. The ideal candidate will have a strong appreciation for restraint in film scoring and a passion for process‑driven, collaborative work. The score should be minimal and textural, utilizing guitar in an atmospheric, human, and understated way—never melodic or guitar‑forward. The music will serve as a psychological layer, enhancing the film’s atmosphere and emotional depth while maintaining a delicate balance with silence. Influences for the score include the understated cues from “Brokeback Mountain,” as well as the atmospheric soundscapes of “Chernobyl” and “Arrival.” The total score will be approximately 4–8 minutes, carefully placed throughout the film to support its emotional arc. The project is currently in post‑production, and the selected composer will begin collaboration immediately, with the potential for ongoing creative partnership on future projects.
