Reel Change Film Fund

Added on by Avi Amon.

Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded a major grant from the Reel Change Film Fund through New Music USA! The five-year fund, established in 2020, accepts applications from US-based composers. It supports film projects currently in production, by providing additional funding, gear, and mentoring to assist composers at a pivotal moment in their careers.

I will be using the funds to score my first feature documentary, Everything You Have Is Yours, directed by Tatyana Tenenbaum and produced by Brighid Greene. The film is inspired by the story and award-winning work of choreographer Hadar Ahuvia, whose live work I’ve been engaging with for years. You can read more about it here.

I’m especially honored to be mentored by superstar, Pinar Toprak, as part of this opportunity. Her work is incredible! 🇹🇷

Thank you to New Music USA, SESAC, Spitfire Audio, Native Instruments, Steinberg, and Amazon Studios for making this all possible.
