I was hired to compose the score for my first feature film today! The movie is called Caesar. It's an adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar done in a film noir style. You can learn more about the film here.
If you watch the trailer, you will get a feel for some of what the style will be for the music. I'm thinking about incorporating, or at least referencing, Handel's opera, Julius Caesar. The final score will probably employ a lot of sampled instruments mixed with some live vocals and (hopefully) a few live instrumentalists.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! All the Samsons say 'WOOHOO!'
We love you. That is great news.

Start memorizing these words: "I couldn't have done it without the constant love and inspiration of my mother." Wait - maybe that should be "my beautiful mother." Well, there's time to think about it! WOW!!!!!
