bio for Russ Brandon

[ScriptNurse]

The best way to get free rights to music is to get to know some aspiring composers willing to write you a score for the screen credit. They're out there, just like there are many screenwriters willing to write for the credit or actors willing to act for the credit.

[ScriptNurse]

The scores will be complied and any notes will be sent to the writer. They will not be publicly posted.

Is there any access to script scores? Do they get emailed with comments to writer?
Thanks,
Russ

Thanks. I haven't really accomplished anything too great other than getting some movies screened at film festivals that I wrote, directed and edited. That is always a bit of a rush.
I liked your bio story. More of an insider than most.
BTW do you know an easy way to get some free rights to music?

[ScriptNurse]

WOW ... I imagine you'll be popular around here. Welcome!
