Hi Ethan, 

Hope you're good. I don't know if you recall we spoke at length at one point about some theatre stuff I was involved with. 

To bring you up to date, I last year wrote a horror comedy movie that's currently with the producer of the 'Hellraiser' movies. While he's off raising the money, I'm preparing to shoot a short low budget film in London in early April. 
 
It's an 11 minute black comedy suspense thriller horror called 'The Hands of a Collector' and it's in the style of 'Tales From The Crypt' and 'The Twilight Zone'. We have a fantastic cast lined up and we're looking for a composer to score the film. I remembered you and thought I'd touch base to offer you the chance to say yes or no! 
 
We have about £100 to spend on a composer. I realise this is not a vast amount but we're managing - through sheer passion and dedication and people recognising we mean business - to get a great deal of high production value at a cost we can realistically afford and I really want the music to be an integral part of the story. 

The film will be premiered at the Frightfest festival this summer (our turnaround time to shoot and complete post is pretty tight, but I'm confident we can do it) and at a number of film festivals domestically and internationally, so it will be quite highly visible. 

It's important to me that I work with people who are not only great at what they do and have a real sense of the film I'm making, but also people that see what a great opportunity the film is to truly put something of themselves in it.
 
It's a small, intimate story told in a big way and I want to work with a composer that can help create this world musically. I want a dark, lonely, romantic score with moments to heighten the mystery and suspense, but the final act is all out terror, ending with a kind of quiet eeriness. I have a vague idea of where I'd like the cues but I think that's best decided in collaboration. I guesstimate we'd be looking at about six or seven minutes of music. 

With the exception of some sample scores from other movies to give you an idea of the tone I'm going for, you would have freedom to be as bold and creative as you wish. 
 
If this interests you nothing would please me more than to have you work with us on this. Thanks for listening and I look forward to hearing from you!
 
With best wishes, 
 
Ash
