The Emerging Film Composer

Film composer, educator and newly elected ASCAP Board member Richard Bellis' new book, The Emerging Film Composer: An Introduction to the People, Problems and Psychology of the Film Music Business, is essential reading for anyone trying to break into film music. Bellis, a longtime mentor for ASCAP's Television and Film Scoring Workshop, is one of the best educators in the business. As fellow film composer Alf Clausen says, "Bellis has assembled a wonderful guide to dealing realistically with the business side of this seductive career. Don't lift a pencil until this book is read cover to cover." For more info, visit www.richardbellis.com.
