I'm looking for a music composer for my thesis film! This film will have no dialog, so the music is an extremely important component. 

The run time is just under 3 minutes in length, though I'll have an exact length down to the second by the time I choose a composer. The tone throughout the film builds up to be very emotional; I'm looking for a song that can play throughout the entire runtime and be in sync with what is happening on screen. The song I am using temporarily as a placeholder is White Palace from the soundtrack of Hollow Knight. The final track can be similar or a completely different vibe; it's just there to fill the space adequately for now!

As for a rough outline of what I'm looking for tone-wise, the film starts off whimsical/mysterious/somber. When the first two characters meet up, the music would go from an uncertain to a sweeter vibe. Then it has a sudden yet emotional build-up to the climax of the film where the main character is gravely injured, with anger/sadness/fear hanging in the balance between the conflicting characters, returning to a somber end. I can definitely be more specific with certain cues and everything later on.

• I'm looking for: string instruments, wind instruments, piano, etc.
• I'm NOT looking for: electronic, 8-bit video game, etc.

If you're selected to be my composer, you will be paid $100 for the completed music. (I wish I could offer more, but this is what I have to offer on a student budget!) Your chosen name/credentials will also be listed in the credits of the film of course, and it will hopefully be released into a film festival circuit if all goes well.

This is not required, but would be an awesome bonus if you're able to do sound design as well! I'm planning on doing that myself, but I'm truly not the best at it so if you have knowledge/experience in that area that would be a great plus. (This would include any foley/sound effects)

I need a finished track by the end of March; preferably by March 26th the latest. Please keep this in mind while applying, as the deadline is very strict and non-negotiable. Thank you so much for reading!
