F.A.Q.

Q: What is this site's objective?
A: Film-Scoring.com gives you a simple, yet powerful platform to present your work, to get in contact with producers, get yourself informed about current and upcomming projects and helps you efficiently to make new business.
Q: Why should I join Film-Scoring.com rather than be busy on MySpace oder facebook?
A: Those sites are great for social networking. However, if you are a composer or musician you are probably not very much into designing fancy websites or profiles and kind of hassle with all that overhead that is involved on those site. You don't want to take part in a My-Profile-is-Fancier-than-Yours competition. Not to mention that high level of distraction that those sites eventually cause. Besides there are no convenient search options you really need to find people to help you make business. You need to concentrate on your faculties — and look for business opportunities.
