Every year we organise Score Relief - a free-to-enter film scoring contest with amazing prizes and judges to shine on our charity fundraiser for arts. Since our first campaign in 2021 the community has raised more than $15,000.
The Cue Tube is partnering with Four of Wands Productions to make a short film FOR composers! Funded by the community the short film will be available un-scored for supporters.
We’re creating a professional SHORT FILM, with an amazing production company and great writing team, cast and crew FOR YOU!
The film features award-winning actor Tara Fitzgerald, best known recently for her role in Game of Thrones (Selyse Baratheon, seasons 2-5). After successfully funding the project via Kickstarter, we are now in production. Thanks to all our backers, who will received the un-scored film for use in practice and portfolios. Stay tuned for news, resources and opportunities from this project!
The Cue Tube is a global community of more than 11,000 composers for film, TV and game music. We provide resources for composers to develop and for filmmakers and game developers who need a great composer for their project.
The beginning of each year marks our amazing Score Relief campaign when the community comes together to celebrate creativity while contributing to real change.
Score Relief is our free film scoring contest, open to all, running in parallel with a fundraiser to support a charity of our choice. We are honoured to support In Place of War, a global organisation that uses creativity as a tool for positive change in places of conflict. They work with grassroots change-makers in music and across the arts to help communities rebuild by transforming a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom.
For composers, thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes are available, principal of which is the opportunity to have your music performed and recorded by session orchestra Northern Film Orchestra at the prestigious Stoller Hall in Manchester, England. See the amazing performance of this year’s winning score here. Judges have included Guy Michelmore, Oscar winner Mychael Danna and other successful professional composers.
The Cue Tube, In Place of War and the network of change-makers across the world are very grateful to our supporters and participants.
Score Relief 2023 news will be announced soon. See last year’s entries on YouTube here.
