The Emerging Film Composer finds Richard Bellis tackling the many issues that arise for today's film composer — from the art and craft of writing music to picture, the day-to-day life of a film composer to easily surfing the waters between creativity and business practicalities. Bellis is an Emmy Award-winning composer who also serves on the faculty of the USC Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television program and has taught film scoring at UCLA Extension. He is a past president of the Society of Composers & Lyricists and has served on the Board of Governors for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
