Add a scene-by-scene review of your score

Every entry is judged, but feedback is where you actually learn. One of our judges watches your film with your music and writes you a detailed, timestamped review: naming exactly what works, what could be stronger, and where to take it next.

What the feedback actually looks like

Real excerpts, published with the judge's permission.

From a judge's written feedback "1:32 This has a rather odd tension to it. I don't think that is the right direction. You are telling the audience that something weird or bad is going to happen. It's usually not a good idea to project the drama. Let it unfold and then comment on it."

From a judge's written feedback "The incorporation of a subtle trumpet line is really nicely done. It's easy to go too far or too on-the-nose with this kind of thing, but you've struck a beautiful balance."

From a judge's written feedback "Try not to be afraid of silence in your scores. It can really add a lot of value if you leave in some space here and there."

What composers say about it

"I greatly appreciate the opportunity to receive feedback. This far outweighs any desire to place or win."

"My feedback was highly detailed in a scene by scene fashion with timing references. The judges analyzed second by second."

Adriaan van Niekerk · W22 Participant

"The opportunity to be reviewed by professionals is incredibly valuable. I also think the price is more than reasonable, almost a steal!"

Alessandro · W24 Participant

"The IFMC pushed me out of my comfort zone to try new things. The feedback was in-depth and helpful. I will definitely be participating again."
