We want to thank all of the applicants to the first Core Music Agency Female and BIPOC Mentorship Program. The application phase is now closed. We look forward to reviewing materials, scheduling interviews and announcing the participants by October 15, 2022.
Female and BIPOC peoples are vastly under-represented in the field of professional film score composition. Women comprise less than 10% of working professional composers and indigenous people are less than 1%. This program which is co-funded by Creative BC, the Province of British Columbia and Core Music Agency aims to increase diversity in our industry by mentoring 2 successful candidates, helping them to gain industry experience, connections, and professional guidance towards establishing themselves in the industry.
