See the UGG competition ideas below:
My Journey as a Film Maker: Ross
Ross wanted to help musicians, driven by a personal journey starting with his son. He wanted to extend his knowledge and went to Griffith Uni. He is currently studying a Masters in Film Making. He has been a script writer and director, but his specialisation is being a music producer. Ross spends 70% on mixing sound which builds on his music background.
He has a studio from which he makes LP's and EP's demo videos. He has produced over 800 music videos since 2017. The youngest performer was 8 and the oldest was 76!
'A dream comes true' is a documentary of a musician he did whilst at Uni, requiring significant sound design. Afterwards, Ross emphasised the need for B-roll footage for any production. Ross also showcased 'Lullaby of Birdland', 'This is me', and 'With or Without you, sweet child of mine'. We unfortunately ran out of time to see more of Ross's other work.
Heather then presented two pitches
The Special One & Custody - she's looking for actors, directors and producers willing to take on her creative writings and turn them into master pieces
BMM Showcase 2022 recap
After the break, Peter A recounted how the BMM 2022 Showcase was a very successful evening, and presented a behind the scenes perspective of the evening.
