It’s always hard to wrap up a Screen Music Program edition, but this one was especially dear to us.

For the first time, we stepped into an artistic residency format in the Dolomites, and what an experience it was.

We had the privilege of working with an incredible roster of composers, bringing so much energy, curiosity, love, and empathy into the room. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better group to share this experience with.

A huge thank you to all the amazing people who helped make this edition so special.

Our incredible faculty: Robbie Teehan, Alison Plante, EnricaSciandroneMusic, Penka D Kouneva, Luigi di Guida, thebasementvicenza

Our wonderful special guests: Sean Callery, Simon Franglen, Michael Abels

And our amazing partners: Spitfire Audio, Robbie Teehan | Coaching and Consulting for Media Composers, ReelCrafter: Trackable Demo Reels, EPKs, and Showreels, Penka Kouneva

Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️

We’re already looking forward to what’s next - and we’ll be back very soon with lots of news.

See you soon! 🎬🎶
