Score Doc to tell the stories behind the world’s most beloved music

They say that behind every great movie is a great score. But do you know the story behind every great score?

So much attention is paid to what happens in front of the red light of a motion picture camera. But the magic that unfolds under the red light of the studio scoring stage is just as spectacular, and important.

“No music, no movies,” says composer Christopher Young.

Epicleff Media’s thoughtful, engaging documentary gives viewers the opportunity to take a journey alongside some of the world’s greatest musicians, as they create some of the world’s greatest music. Score highlights the ups and downs of the creative process, a process with as many highs and lows as the winding melodies we’ve come to love.

Score will begin a fundraising campaign on Feb. 15 on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to help with finishing costs for what will be the quintessential documentary on film music. Supporters will be able to donate as little as one dollar to the project. As donation amounts go up, so do the gifts Epicleff Media is offering supporters of Score, with lower amounts allowing supporters a chance to get specially-designed shirts and other merchandise, and higher amounts giving fans once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to compose their own score, fly to Los Angeles to attend the movie premiere, or snag coveted autographed memorabilia.

Support is needed to finish this massive undertaking, so that fans of film music can listen as composers such Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception), Howard Shore (The Lord of the Ring series, The Hobbit series, Danny Elfman (Batman, Good Will Hunting, Silver Linings Playbook), Christophe Beck (Frozen, The Hangover series), John Debney (The Passion of the Christ) and many more recount how they turned a theme they heard in their head into a score people across the world can hum. Fans can watch as artists fight writer’s block, and time, to deliver a score before the deadline passes. They can learn why these geniuses are considered to be the Mozarts and the Michelangelos of our day, and why many believe there is another Renaissance occurring right before our eyes.

Fans will see the sound, and the fury behind it.
