Join Women in Film Seattle and Seattle Composers Alliance for a masterclass in how music and sound can assist in a film's storytelling — or even tell its own!

We will be joined by two pairs of experienced film directors and film composers who will additionally speak to their experience in collaborating with one another and the tips and tricks necessary to bring a project over the finish line.

Seattle filmmakers, composers, editors, directors, producers, and creatives — come hang out with us at Harbor Island Studios for the 48 HR Film & Music Mixer on Friday, June 5!

We’re teaming up with the Seattle Composers Alliance for a casual meet ’n greet designed to help local filmmakers connect directly with Seattle-area composers before this summer’s Seattle 48 Hour Film Project.

One of the biggest challenges during the 48 is finding great music fast. This mixer is a chance to meet talented local composers in person, build creative relationships ahead of time, and discover collaborators for your next film.

We’re especially excited to host this event at Harbor Island Studios as part of our ongoing effort to build stronger creative infrastructure and community connections in Seattle. This event is happening in part thanks to support from 4Culture’s Free Public Access program, helping us create more opportunities for filmmakers and artists to connect and collaborate.

🎬 Meet local filmmakers & composers
🎼 Discover original music for your projects
🤝 Build creative connections before the competition
🍿 Snacks & beverages provided
📍 Hosted at Harbor Island Studios

Whether you already have a team or are just curious about the 48HFP community, this is a great opportunity to network, collaborate, and learn more about Seattle’s filmmaking scene.
