Hey everyone in the Film Making/Directing Lounge!
My name is Ronith, and I'm a film composer and music producer, currently studying Film & Media Scoring at Berklee College of Music.
My passion lies in crafting original scores that go beyond just supporting the visuals; I aim to create music that truly explores the emotive and psychological depths of a story, helping to elevate a director's unique vision and bring characters fully to life.
I'm fascinated by the directing process and always seeking to understand how directors conceive their films from the ground up. I'm curious:
When you're directing, what's one key element of a scene (beyond dialogue or action) that you rely on music to either reveal, enhance, or perhaps even subtly contradict to achieve a specific emotional or psychological impact?
I'd love to hear your insights on how you envision the collaboration with a composer to achieve those nuanced layers.
If you're curious, you can also check out some of my work here: https://rronith.bandzoogle.com
Looking forward to connecting with fellow filmmakers!

Far from promoting those who go to Filmhub, Filmhub charges platforms up to $10k just for the privilege of viewing the catalog, and they do not share any of this with the filmmakers. You might think this actually prevents your title from being seen, instead of promoting it. You would, IMO, be right. Of course, they don't charge Tubi for that - or Amazon - who don't play that game. I ran Facet TV and am one of the founders of FilmPod.app which is being built to give professional independent filmmakers complete control over their distribution and monetization, so have had to deal with Filmhub and it's founders directly several times. As well, we deal with many other independent streamers and the experience is the same. further, since ~November 2024, word is that they are late and less responsive on payments. IMO, just don't.
Shadow Dragu-Mihai, Esq., Ipg Thank you so much for your detailed response. Filmhub really does come across as a kind of monopoly. The alternatives aren’t much better either. Many ask for upfront fees...

What’s even more frustrating is that filmmakers who go through Filmhub rarely speak up about poor performance. No one wants to publicly admit that their film didn’t get views or traction. It’s like a collective silence, which only makes it harder for others to make informed decisions.
Honestly, it’s hard to make sense of how this system still works.
