I've been sending presentations to filmmakers for a very long time.

First, they started as emails with a couple of sentences that said, "I love your work, and I'd love to work together sometime."

Then I outright started to make music for projects before I even reached out to them. I just wanted to send them the work and show them how passionate I was about it.

Eventually, I started sending podcast-style "Audio Journals," where I'd record an explanation of my connection and vision for their project. The whole thing would have music in the style of what I thought their film should sound like.

A few years ago, I started adding in videos like this so that they could see me talk and hear my passion for what they were doing (and for what I was doing!).

I'm not sure what the next iteration of my pitching process is, though. Maybe I'll start going to people's houses with a small orchestra. Something like:

"🗣️📢 HEY BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK, HERE'S MY IDEA FOR YOUR NEXT FILM. OKAY HIT IT BOYS 🎻🎺🥁🎸🎶🎵🎶"

If you've ever wondered what I've done and where I'm going, this is for you.
